The Pinot Noir Magician Is Back!
There are many brilliant winemakers in Germany. But the wines of one man have always stood out as being somewhere close to magic and those are the wines of Sven Enderle. His winemaking philosophy is extreme. No pumps. No additives. No nothing. He just sources the prefect grapes, presses and waits. I normally roll my eyes a bit when people talk about avoiding things like pumps but when I taste Sven’s wines, I become a believer. There are no pinot noirs like them. And I’m thrilled to be the first retailer to sellt hem.
The Wine
Today, we are proud to present the first Grand Cru offer in the world from Sven Enderle’s new estate. The 2022 Sven Enderle Pinot Noir “Vom Keuper” can be had for $49.99 a bottle on a 4-pack. Sven’s top wines will all be named after the soils where the grapes were grown. Keuper is a clay and limestone soil.
A brilliant wine. A profound wine and it was completely not what I was expecting. It has the most beautiful translucent true Pinot ruby color I’ve ever seen. You can see right through this wine.
Super nose with gorgeous sweet dark cherry fruit that is at once pure and at once ethereal and complex. Elegant spice, like flowers made from spice. Nose is all red cherries and spices. Dizzying array. Stunning aromatic depth and purity. So much mineral. Just huge. Smells like elite 1er Cru red Burgundy. Say Vosne-Romanee “Les Chaumes.” Blown away. Woodsy, incense and infinite complexity. Limestoney as well. This is a knockout nose. Just gorgeous. Keeps opening and opening and getting more expansive and aromatic. Deep rich red fruit and pungent stoniness that makes it insanely distinct. So aromatic. So floral. Violets, roses, just beguiling. But all of this is on a bed of stone. Limestone. There is also a confectionary aroma as well that envelops the black cherries and blackberries. Old wood, insane spice with gorgeous dark and lighter black cherry and mulberry fruits. This is super complex and deep. Still seems like it has more to give. Spiced mulberry cake. So subtle, yet strong and nuanced at the same time. After some time the florals come and they are wow wow wow. That Sven magic abounds. Sickness. The spice is next level here. So is the sweet wood spice. This is genius. I expected nothing less.
Palate is so sweet, yet earthy and supple. Wowsers. Beautiful wine that is exceptionally pure and deep. There is a perfect combination of power and grace. Silky and ethereal. It is so explosive and has that unreal magic Sven Enderle cherry fruit that is so precise and so delicate. Amazing energy and sweetness. It is lush and energetic but superbly elegant. There are lithe and elegant tannins that are so ripe. The sweetness and succulence allied with the silken ethereal texture is not to be believed. This is rocking red Riesling. Nimble like nothing else. So gentle and serene. Unreal purity. Dissipates like nothing else. Balance and purity are off the charts. Sappy and lovely fruit skin type fruits. So supple. This is possibly the greatest debut Grand Cru Pinot I’ve ever had. Silky and juicy with elite finesse and wonderful freshness and minerality. Gorgeous wine. With air the palate is super juicy, tangy and concentrated. Super pure and wonderful, ripe and cutting tannins.
Long finish, structure to burn and this has a decade ahead of it. Amazing concentration. Amazing clarity. So so pure. Tiny berry fruit intensity. Complex and lithe. Dense, concentrated and so balanced but this is so elegant and never heavy. I was blown away.

OFFICE HOURS 4-7 PM
I love drinking and selecting wines – but my passion for teaching people about wine is almost as big. I’m happy to announce a block of time each day where people can call me just to chat about wine in general. These blocks are NOT intended to sell wine (I do that all day). This is to talk to me about wine pairings or great producers or how long to age wines or styles of wine making or the latest wine controversy. My goal is to help people learn more about wine and enjoy it more. Call me at 917-912-4355 from 4-7EST Monday – Friday.

A Word about Fass Selections and Social Media

Please tag me there. I also am on Delectable which I love a lot. It is Iphone/Ipad only, but it’s like Instagram meets Facebook for wine. Tag me there and find me there as well. I want to know if you liked the wine, were not moved by the wine, hated the wine or the wine gave you a religious experience. I want to know it all. Feedback is key and I will answer all feedback e-mails as quickly as I can.
