Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For April 6, 20201 min read

Posted on April 6, 2020March 30, 2020 by 1WineDude

in wine mini-reviews

I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than most people). So each week, I share some of my wine reviews (mostly from samples) and tasting notes in a “mini-review” format.
 
They are meant to be quirky, fun, and (mostly) easily-digestible reviews of (mostly) currently available wines (click here for the skinny on how to read them), and are presented links to help you find them, so that you can try them out for yourself. Cheers!

  • 2011 Weingut Pfeffingen Ungsteiner Herrenberg Riesling Grosses Gewachs (Pfalz): Flint, flowers, flair, and fabulousness. $65 A-
  • 2017 Selbach-Oster Zeltinger Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett Trocken, Mosel): Do you like limes? How about now?? Do ya like ’em NOW?!?? $26 B+
  • 2016 Ritual Pinot Noir (Casablanca Valley): Earthy, brambly, deep… and very much still alive & kicking. $21 B+
  • 2016 Casa Lapostolle Cuvee Alexandre Apalta Vineyard Carmenere, Apalta): Deep, dark, herbal, & almost devilishly delicious. $25 B+

  • 2018 Clarice Wine Co. Rosella’s Vineyard Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands): Almost shockingly fantastic; worth every red cent. $80 A

  • 2017 Frank Family Vineyards Zinfandel (Napa Valley): Bold, big, burly, bodacious… so, basically, everything you expected. $36 B+
  • 2017 Olema Pinot Noir (Sonoma County): Equal parts playful, balanced, and bargain. $20 B+
  • NV Piper Sonoma Blanc de Blancs (Sonoma County): The apples are golden; your yoke is light. $22 B+
