Tasting from 08.08.2021: Anne Krebiehl MW

An initial touch of pear drop soon dissipates to reveal ripe citrus zest and fresh red apple flesh along with creamy notions of yeast. This yeasty notion carries right onto the palate where it is subsumed into a lovely, rich texture that is packaged in a precise and taut body. This is an unusual Pinot but a compelling one, with a hint of spice and tons of freshness on the finish.
