2006 Domaine Ostertag Fronholz Vin d'Alsace Pinot Noir


Had this Saturday at Lucques with my parents. 70$. Somebody must be really into this wine there--a red from Alsace? I figured that it had to be good...Domaine Ostertag is more known for their Pinot Gris and Riesling. Completely bio-dynamic. Cherry, earthy funk and some spice. Nice balance, and a nice spicy finish. Went great with everything--duck with figs, jidori chicken, and short-ribs. Interesting wine, but maybe a bit on the spendy side. B

Last night, we also had another bottle of the '06 Quimera (which was drinking awesome), and another bottle of the Mas Belles, which was also absurdly good.
