Recommended By: WineClub
Place & Date Purchased: WineStyles, Evanston, IL - 4/5/2009
Place & Date Tasted: Home - 5/28/2009
Appearance: Rose red; transparent, yet brilliant gloss
Nose: Cherry, watermelon candy and floral scent
Taste: Juicy; tons of fruit flavor
Finish: Linger slightly; sweet after tones, yet not sugary
Overall Impression: For a Pinot Noir, it's delicious. Usually some Pinot Noirs, to me, have an ashy flavor to it. Not this one! It also was not dry whatsoever. This was all around good and I would get it again in a heart beat!

Producer: Josef Drathen
Region & Country: Rheinhessen, Germany
Grape Variety: Spatlese
Recommended By: N/A
Place & Date Purchased: WineStyles, Evanston, IL - 12/5/2008
Place & Date Tasted: Home - 3/2/2009
Appearance: Yellowish-green; brilliant and full-bodied
Nose: Clean and sweet scent; herbs and a hint of green apple
Taste: Syrup-esk taste; plain with some pear
Finish: Lingers thick on the tongue, but not harsh
Overall Impression: First of all, you get enticed by this beautiful blue bottle. When you pour the wine, it glows and it's a gorgeous color. It looks clean and crisp. The scent is just as wonderful. It lures you in with a clean herb and fruit aroma. Then you taste it and it's nothing like what you expected. It's thick and like syrup. The taste is the complete opposite of the scent.
