Toasty, sweaty and smoked meat notes vie with dried cherry and red currant for aromatic attention on the nose of the 2019 Red Wine Niedermenniger Herrenberg trocken. The palate perpetuates those impressions with an alluringly silky feel allied to just enough juiciness. Rose hip, cherry pit, black tea and black pepper lend complexity to an impressively sustained finish. (For why this 100% Pinot Noir is labeled simply, in English, “Red Wine,” consult my review of the corresponding 2017.) (David Schildknecht, Vinous, May 2022)

Interesting red (I believe 100% Pinot) from a producer I respect. Restrained, at 11.5% and with some slight stemmy notes. Nice cherry. Refreshing and invigorating on the finish. Enjoyed and a nice contrast with heavier more extracted wines.

New one for me and quite a find. Would never guess Germany/Mosel.
