Another great Pinot I just got through @Lyle Fass. A small step down from the Selection Stadtberg, but still very fresh and excellent to drink while young. The nose and palette feel married, both with cranberry, tart cherry, some flowers, tar and slightly earthy forest floor. Quite focused with nice acidity and bitterness on the finish. Long with dried oregano and little tannins at the end. I love Swiss Pinot. Next time I’m in Zurich, I need to check out this winery. — 4 hours ago

@Delectable Wine this is called Sonnenhalde. Thanks!

What a nose. So much depth and so intense. Unreal layering. Fruit skins. So so brilliant. Nose is a 9.7. Energy. Unreal fruit and sap. Elegant. So pure. Unreal texture. Earthy sweetness. Loads of spice. So much energy. Unreal purity. — a year ago

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! — 4 months ago

Lovely peach, slate, mineral, wet stones, citrus, racy, juicy and deep. Zippy but also soft and intense at the same time and finishes dry. Great grip and structure and wonderful finesse and depth. — a year ago

Outrageous nose here. Wet earth galore. White peach, spice and citrus. White and pink grapefruit. The fruit on this nose is unconscious. Blown away. There are white flowers and all of it is just perfume. So gorgeous. The peach and now apricot with air is just so vivid and clear. This is a brilliant wine. What a palate. So juicy and vivid with such astonishing purity. The peach flesh and skins are expressed in similar proportions. It’s so balanced and clean with just terrific freshness. Scintillating acidity and freshness. This is an orb of perfection on the palate. Just a genius bottle of wine. The wispy, subtle effect is balanced by the clarity of the fruit and the terrific acidity. Brilliant! Terriffuc structure and a controlled density. — 9 months ago

Red fruits galore. Gorgeous aromas. Spice and wet earth. Intense minerals. Cranberry bog. Red currants. Floral and haunting. Like a young vine Volnay. So clean and so juicy. Such clarity. Unreal freshness. Balanced and so pure. Easy to drink but also not simple. — a year ago

The UnGewurztraminer. So floral and a hint of lychee. So pure and great acids. So different. — a year ago

Outrageous and unique and so so well made. Rauschling is here! Nose of sea air, white peach, citrus and more. Super fruit and saline aromas. Palate is ridiculously elegant and intense with stunning balance, purity and minerality. Ultra clean and precise and like the Pinot it floats on the palate. Finish is all juicy lime and minerals. Terrific grip, sap, concentration and purity as it opens and such wonderful sweet lime on the finish! — 2 years ago
