Spatburgunders are cold climate Pinot Noirs; they are an excellent value compared to other cold climate Pinots. They been selling well under $8 and Rheingau has unique, supple and easy taste. I hate to compare them to the overpriced California and Oregon varietals; but then again I can’t afford those anyway.

I picked this up at TJ’s today as well…it was such an odd experience. My notes are extremely similar to yours (except I caught a strong whiff of roses on the nose), but after drinking about half of my glass I found it so cloying I couldn’t finish it. Lovely texture, but I just couldn’t deal with the sweetness. I plan to try a reduction sauce with the leftovers…should be interesting.

This wine was my first German Pino Noir. I thought it was a nice effort. I think it is a great wine for people who are just getting into the varietal. Its not that thought provoking or interesting but for $7 bones you are usually not going to get such a wine. I also found it at Trader Joe’s (Portland, OR). This wine has peeked my interest in the Rheingau area of Germany, and I’m interested to try more Pino Noir from the region.

I LOVED this wine! I drink a LOT of Pinot Noirs, mostly from California, and while this wine is quite different, it’s it’s own animal and just as pleasant! I enjoyed it with Thanksgiving dinner, and it perfectly complimented each dish! And at this price?! Wow, I’ll definitely be buying more!!
