  1. Meyer-Fonne PinotGris Reserve AC: Vd’A (13.5%; Vin Sec) 2022: Med.gold color; strong floral/PG/carnations light earthy/dusty fairly classic/PG/spicy lovely nose; bit soft quite rich/lush fairly dry strong PG/floral/spicy/carnations classic ripe/PG flavor; very long/linger ripe/PG finish that follows flavor; almost at a VT level of richness; quite a lovely expression of Alsace PG at a very fair price. $33.00 (K-L)

  1.

More gribblecerts from TheBloodyPulpit:

  1. These were the high-end Meyer-Fonne whites that Kermit-Lynch released at a discount-case package of the new M-F releases. Across the board, these wines were very well liked and mostly very fairly priced. Good wines in a style midway between Trimbach & Zind-Humbrecht.
