Restless River

Main Road & Dignity Upper Hemel en Aarde Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

I can’t decide if it’s fantastic or too hipster but it’s very Skurnik, strikes a great balance between cool climate body, lightness but with profound and ripe tannins with some leather/graphite depth without the fruit baggage. At $65 it’s almost value priced given the current climate — a year ago

Lazer-like acidity and just wonderful with food. Basil, lemon and flowers!. — 4 years ago

Altar Uco

Edad Moderna Tupungato Malbec 2018

A lean Malbec, no baby fat or even juicy mid palate, closer in style to Northern Rhone. Black fruits and minerals. Really interesting. Skurnik importer — 5 years ago

Carnuntum Blaufränkisch 2015

Strawberry and raspberry taffy nose
Deliciously well put together layers of berry - all wild and ripe - some slight Slate, white pepper, and sweetened dried cherry.
a rare find outside of the country, and a great wine indeed!
Anything imported by Skurnik is always good.

Thanks for catching that! The app got the year wrong - I’m unsure this varietal could weather that age well..

"Porphyr" Nahe Riesling 2016

I drink Mosel reisling when I want to share with my wife, but when I drink on my own or with homeboys( whenever that may be), I go Nahe. Lock n load minerality and a very dense mix of slate, salt, & peach. A tic above room temp & the rs comes through. Balanced. Skurnik importer. — 6 years ago

In Deidesheim Pfalz Riesling 2017

A serious Pfalz qualitatswein, I think. Such minerality & layers, with an edge of sweetness but just alluded to. In a almost completely Trocken style but not. I don’t know this maker well but oozes quality. Refreshing after a Mets loss. Thiesse/ Skurnik importer. — 7 years ago

Yeah I’ve seen also a Sauvignon Blanca by this producer @Ira Schwartz which caught my eye, but haven’t tried. Mets break my heart...

Domaine du Clos du Fief

Tradition Juliénas Gamay 2018

The bottle gets a 9.0, but I want to give it a 10.0 because the Skurnik portfolio, to an extent, has hit Mississippi! A big moment for the troubled relationship my state seems to have with good European wine. Nice more robust style Gamay. Not particularly my cup of tea, but it tastes damn good tonight. Now it is time to see more than bottom of the bin burgundies around! — 5 years ago

Encinas Bierzo Mencia 2018

Chuggable lighter weight Mencia from terrific producers, one from the Rhone. High acid, almost effervescent mineral notes, with bright cherry, white pepper, herbs, and violets... fermented in cement, some whole cluster. Delicious!

Le Pied a L'Etrier Saumur Puy Notre Dame Cabernet Franc 2017

Must have been a scorcher vintage cause don’t remember 14.5% alcohol. Still a go to summer red though. Fresh, balanced still, all red fruits with strong raspberry pull. Dense dark red appearance. Originally a Daniel Johnnes find, Skurnik importer. — 6 years ago

Dinamica Bairrada Bical & Arinto Blend 2018

Covid-19 wine #2: virtually shared with home boy at dusk. Portuguese Baga, give it air as has a delicate but Nebbiolo-ish shade. 12.5%, Skurnik importer. I’m enjoying Portugal now. Plus my MD/ epidemiologist neighbor listened to my lungs and gave me a clean bill of health. Now to work and help keep our patients healthy in pandemic anxiety. — 6 years ago

Tight.
N:Reticent, herbaceous, black plums, cocoa. Plush red/brown velvet nose.
P: Way too young… patience my man,
But nice plums, tilled earth, dense, herbs, lots of acid,
This ain’t no Cali/Ore Pinot.
I say come back in five? yrs.
After 1 hr + in a decanter, Wow! Dirty leather,
Big.
Thank @ Fass Selections
From Skurnik:

The pick of the sites on the big hill, this is limestone again, and the wine is fascinating, bloody yet almost mineral; a truly complex mid-palate, animated and squirming; dark fruit and warm crust and a lingering multi-faceted finish.

Burgenland St. Laurent 2017

With air, the uni dimensions of currants & a fussier, tighter palate really blossoms into a more rounded, red cherry affair. Not the last word on complexity given this is entry level, but for 16/17$ it’s a nice deal. Terry thiesse & Skurnik, importer — 5 years ago

Equis

Equinoxe Crozes-Hermitage Syrah 2018

Smell of ripened sweet plums in an orchard where a strong aromatic herbs are grown along the edge.

Dense and lovely - this wine shows bright, rich fruits, raspberry pie, unsweetened blackberry jam, hints of Provençal herbs with a lip smacking tanginess, and elderberry acidity.

Give me a Skurnik find any day.
Delicious !
