'Jardin d'Eden' Pinot Noir 2023

A delicious, if young, Alsace Pinot Noir. Medium intensity, youthful color. Nose charges out of the batter’s box with musky, fragrant cherries, crushed stone and meadow soil, and a bit of exotic spice. Dry bit with delicious fruit on palate entry, turning lean and emphasizing chalky but soft tannins, good acids, and savory minerals as the palate progresses. A lot of fun to drink now but plainly will get even more interesting over the next few years. — 7 days ago

Altenbourg Alsace Riesling 2017

Brassy gold color. Classic Alsace nose has petrol-like notes, crushed stone, and golden delicious apple fruit. Smells fresher than the color suggests. Bone dry, with intense crushed stone minerally flavors, bright fruit underneath, and swept along by crisp, mouthwatering acids. Could certainly go a few more years. Nicely done! — 3 years ago

Pensée Pinot Blanc 2018

This is the second wine I’ve had from this Alsace domain and the second wine where the purity and freshness are almost profound. Gorgeously pure nose has ripe appley Pinot Blanc fruit, accentuated by light spice notes, straw, and moist gravelly earth. Intense but very soft and friendly fruit in the mouth. Again, superb purity (apparently the domain farms biodynamically). Decent acids and a fresh finish that has a little herbal thing. Not complex — it is Pinot Blanc, after all — but very satisfying for a weekday white. — 4 years ago
