2009 Karl Erbes Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese
Just a short tasting note today. We had this beauty to finish up our Thanksgiving Dinner last Thursday. You can read more about the winery, of which I am very fond, here, and I have waxed on lyrically about the Würzgarten before here.
The 2009 Karl Erbes Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese poured in a lemony, yellow color. The nose was a bit subdued, but had the typical floral and herbal aromas, with a notable freshness to it (I don’t know how else to describe it). On the palate, it was on the heavier side of light-bodied, with a healthy dose of sugar and yellow fruit. What made me love this wine was a great lemon-flavored acidity that lingered on my tongue long after I had swallowed it. It was a great companion to chill after overindulging on turkey, mashed potatoes, red cabbage and creamy onions or gruyere-baked butternut squash. Finally something light and refreshing…
