Eglisau Stadtberg Pinot Noir

Love this wine. Such an elegant and fresh version of Pinot. Nose is cranberry, cranberry bog, sour cherries, spice and minerals. Also roses and flowers. Just gorgeous. Just so pretty. Also herbal and alpine aromas. Palate is so pretty and elegant with gorgeous pure fruit and so wispy and ephemeral. If you’re coming here for extraction this wine is not for you. It’s an ethereal, pure and refreshing Pinot Noir and something Switzerland does better than anybody else. So fresh and engaging with cranberry, sour cherry fruit and gorgeous herbal and flowers on the finish. Exquisite balance and just delightful. What a sneaky and persistent finish. Let’s see how this opens and my score could go higher.

So good to have a quality Swiss Pinot here in the US! Thank you @Lyle Fass . This is just great. Lots of cranberry and sour red cherry, but so refined. The floral and spice notes really balance it out. I’m getting some allspice, but might just be from the holiday season :) Fresh with great length. This makes me so happy, since we won’t be traveling to Zurich this year. Had it with sesame tofu and broccolini (homemade take out Chinese). Weird pairing (would have been better with a dry Mosel Riesling or sparkler) but I still enjoyed it. Zum Wohl!

Pale see through ruby color, some cherry cola - not a ton of aromatics or flavors on mid palate. Lacking extraction & stuffing. Very light bodied, but was hoping for more elegance & personality.
