Trimbach has been producing amazing Alsatian wines for three centuries across thirteen generations. The family oversees each operation, from planting to harvest, from vinification to bottling. The tradition, dedication, and vigilance are obvious in this bottle. It starts with a delicate nose of red and black berries. The wine is not aged in barrels to preserve its fruitiness and finesse and really brings the cherry flavors and classic old-world earthiness on the palate. The tannins are smooth, silky, and refined. This is a fantastic choice for the holidays, either as a gift for someone (or yourself), or on your holiday table. -Keri Brown, Surdyk's Wine Consultant
