What a sick nose, forest floor, dead leave, sour cherry, mid season cherry, violets, spice, Palate is velvet, melty tannins, sweet fruit, insane acidity, so clean and balanced, amazing complexity, so pure, lovely finish. Screaming for duck confit.

Some already know, but many might not and you need to know that German Pinot Noir has arrived! Not Spatburgunder, but Fruhburgunder, which is an early ripening Pinot Noir. Called Pinot Madeline in France and Early Burgundy in CA.
Burgundy will always be the mecca of Pinot Noir, but there have been numerous articles, opinion pieces, discussions and arguments as to where the best Pinot Noir is made outside of Burgundy. Well, if this Joseph Walter is any indication the reds from Franken have something to say and we all need to listen up.
Transparent, pure, with complete terroir reflection of rock and mineral, sweet spices and a touch of underbrush (stem inclusion?), all accenting a fine dose of bright red berry fruits. Supple, fine and slightly austere tannin frames an elegant but persistent finish. #franken

1 person found it helpfulDec 3rd, 2016Gorgeous wine. Nose of spice, cranberries, red cherries, Xmas and so much earth. Palate is fresh as a daisy. Complex and textured. Great freshness, and some of the 09 opulence.
