Only ever had Teutonic whites and a 13 red- they really killed this 14! A nice mix of elegance, spice and drinkability. Youthful, fun.

Delicate and delightful. Red berries, black pepper, clean minerals, and some forest floor. Hints of smoke, maybe from the wildfires. Relatively light bodied. Very nice.

Slight hint of reduction that faded with 30 mins. Darker fruit profile than expected, considering the light color and low alcohol. 12.5%. well crafted, well balanced. Great value

Fantastic value. Whole cluster pinot-as-spatburgunder out of the Pacific Northwest, superb urban winemaking.

Some great German-style Willamette Pinot (or should I say Spätburgunder?) from Teutonic, who are quickly becoming one of my favorite producers in the Willamette. Lithe and elegant but showing the ripeness of the warm 2014 vintage; as a result it has an enjoyable richness yet still possesses great refreshment value, especially with a slight chill. Pours a pale ruby, fading slightly at the rim. Nose of ripe sour cherry and cranberry, stemmy, whole cluster anise-y cola spice, fresh red rose petal, and post-rain rocky, gravelly soil. On the palate it shows similarly to the nose with a bit more focused red fruit and mineral intensity, although the floral and the stemmy, whole cluster spice character is still apparent. Great balance and decent length. Acid is medium (+) to high, medium (-) body, fine grained tannins of low to medium (-) intensity. Delicious stuff.
