2016 Pinot Noir "S" Domaine Weinbach

The 2016 'S' Pinot Noir from Domaine Weinbach is a stunning red from this region. The nose reveals delicate aromas of red currants, rose water and citrus rind that all build in the glass. The mouthfeel is excellent, showing off a silky texture and a wonderful seamless quality to this great Pinot Noir. Forest floor, peat moss, leather and citrus rind combine with red fruit flavors on the palate. While nothing short of delicious now, this gorgoeus wine should continue to cellar well over the decade and beyond. 2019-2033.

Bottled for the first time on its own, the 2016 Alsace Pinot Noir S is beautifully fruity on the nose, with nice reduction and lovely purity. On the palate, this is a very elegant but straight, tightly structured and tensioned Pinot with fine and ripe tannins. Very long and intense.
