Huber Cellars Sta. Rita Hills Hafen Dornfelder 2009
Member Review by Tyler Worth:
89 points. Intense spicy tones dominate the aroma, with chocolate and peanut brittle showing through strongly. There is also a generous amount of blackcurrant preserves, a dark floral tone, and a hint of volcanic stone throughout the nose. This wine is delicately sweet, and not nearly as heavy as its thick appearance in the glass leads you to expect. Strong woodsy tones seem to make up the majority of the palate, with hints of birch, sun-ripened blackberries, and a faintly dusty, rocky quality. This is a very subtle wine with the ability to pick you up and place you in a forest clearing somewhere in the woods of Germany. Nicely structured and showing an excellent sense of place, this is absolutely a wine worth trying.
