Community Tasting Notes 5

    June 9, 2023 - I enjoyed this but failed to take notes at the time

  • Palisades57 Does not like this wine: 85 points

    June 5, 2020 - Well, looking at the reviews before mine, maybe I have a bad bottle… Or maybe not. In my mind this is heavy-handed, flabby and over the top with a ton of tropical fruit and not enough acid behind it. I’ll give it another day or so in the fridge and see if it improves. So far, can’t recommend this as typical of a good Gruner, which, when on target, is lively, engaging, more focused and more linear.

    October 18, 2018 - This wine is medium straw in the glass with a nose of stone fruits, and honeydew melon. On the palate, the wine is atypically (for a GV) fruit forward and medium-bodied with the same stone fruits, melon, as well as red apple, a touch of spritz, and yes, cream. The lengthy finish is infused with hints of white pepper and baking spices. As with Ewald Gruber's entry-level Hundspoint GV, the Ried label is some ugly little monster masquerading as one of the many microbes essential to the creation of fine wine. Don't let that microscopic monstrosity dissuade you from tasting this delightful wine that truly hits the mythical sweet spot between a California Chardonnay and a bone dry Sancerre. While I am typically loathe to offer a food-wine pairing, this gem of a GV calls out for Chilean sea bass in a buttery sauce. Addendum, recently tasted the 2017, and it's even better!
