September 10, 2017 - A well balanced wine. Perfect match with fisk and creamy sauce.
November 4, 2015 - A bit too rich and uninteresting for Gruner.
October 30, 2015 - Clear light greenish gold. A Gruner with a more acidic edge & identity. Wonderfully balanced between fruit & acidity. Nerve & tension mark the palate texturally. This shows delineated layers of citrus fruit & herbal notes with a strong saline/mineral note on the back of the palate.
This drinks more like a top end Chablis than a modestly priced entry level Gruner. The freshness and wonderfully dry finish draw you back in immediately. It may not be the most complex wine, but it is entirely delicious from the first sip. Qpr is off the charts for this one.
October 12, 2015 - This wine is SINGING right now and frankly Its amazing and fantastic for 15 bucks. As much as I like some of those liters of GV, this is a HUGE step up in structure and complexity. It will improve for another year too.. Screwcap is a huge plus for this wine. see previous note for flavors.
September 29, 2015 - Medium-full body. Notes of guava, papaya, and a suggestion of sweet mint on the nose; on the palate, green mango and lime, pronounced minerality on the backpalate, and a touch of salt on the saline, dry finish. 12.5% ABV.
While it seemed to take some time to fully open up, the little heat on the finish which followed makes me think that this is best consumed in the short term.
88-89
September 14, 2015 - What a nice wine. I love Grüner Veltliner. It has the fruitiness and crispness of riesling but has some of the spice of a Gewurtztraminer. This is smooth and some lovely, complex flavors going on. Very nice.
August 10, 2015 - Straw colored in the glass, neutral nose, bordering on off dry, palate is expressive with lychee, apricot, and notes of sweet lime, long finish. Nice.
August 6, 2015 - Quick note this was a wonderful alternative to muscadet for our mussel dish tonight. Crisp and clean with tart salinity. Mussels bring out fruit. Nice
July 17, 2015 - Very good value in a Gruner. Nice acidity that complements many foods.
July 1, 2015 - Tangy, refreshing and satisfying. Glad I have a case.
