Weingut Judith Beck Beck Ink Qualitätswein 2014

Bright ruby color. Nose of berries, spices, smoke, beautiful green notes (I like them!), this feels lively and fresh! So good and fruit loaded with small berry flavors, lots of freshness coming from the wine acidity, have a round mid-palate and ends on a spicy-smoky finish. This was so tasty! Very good (89)

Made of 90% Zweigelt and 10% St-Laurent. Aged 12 months in used oak barrels. Certified organic and from Qualitätswein level. Alcohol level of 12,5% 

Available through private import only at the moment…

Hobo Wine Company Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley Sonoma 2013

Dark cherry color. Nose of wild berries, spices and just a hint of old wood. So good and smooth on the palate, one could say it’s dense and chewy, but it drinks so well and feels like pure silk! This is a classy California wine made from a grape variety too often used in industrial wines. Liked it a lot and this is probably my favorite Zinfandel wine other than the top wines from Ridge Vineyards, my personal refrence for that type of wine. Excellent (91)

Made of 92 % Zinfandel, 5 % Petite Sirah, 3 % Carignan, Chesselas, and Riesling. Aged in used French and American oak barrels. Alcohol level of 13,8%
