  Becker Estate Pinot Noir 2013 is a remarkable crisp and elegant light bodied Pinot Noir, very popular in the USA. These german wines have the highest quality and are grown on the steep banks along the rivers in this region of Pfalz in West Germany neighboring Luxembourg. Small vineyards continue to be cared for and picked by hand, due to the difficult nature of mechanization on these hillsides.Limestone soils are perfect to reach the best of mineralities in a remarkable full of depth and elegance, light bodied Pinot Noir.

  Garnet with slight tinges of orange; medium legs, rim variation consistent with age. Aromas are first of the earth:dust, forest floor, mushroom, garrigue and subtle straw and stems. Minimal red fruit: red currant, raspberry, cranberry. On the palate, earth aromas still dominate and red fruit persists, but is subtle. Tannins mainly from wood. Light/medium body, narrow to linear texture, medium finish, medium acidity. Impression: somewhat complex, not quite balanced due to dominant earth notes. At $22, QPR is average. A nice introduction to Spatburgunder, but would seek out lower-priced options before repurchasing this. Drink now or in 2020.

  Second Sunday Group: Aged Alsatian Riesling Vendange Tardive (Neil's): Double blind. Floral, spice and cherry aromas. Higher acidity than the first wine. Cherry and red berry fruit flavors. Soft tannins. Has a somewhat sharp acidic quality in the finish. I much preferred the first of the warm ups.

  Medium dark cherry in color; very light nose with earthy notes predominating; fruit including hints of strawberry on the palate, nicely balanced with medium to fairly long finish.The WS might not give it a 90, but it was a solid 90+ for us. At $19.00...an exceptional value as well.
