2018 Frederick Becker Pinot Noir 'Schweigen' Pfalz
Weingut Friedrich Becker’s Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) is a powerful homage to its historic Pfalz roots. A core of black cherry and violet dances with earthy tones of forest floor and loam. Firm, yet polished tannins add structure, while acidity provides balance. Smoky wood, juniper, and tart berries glide across the palate, finishing with ethereal dry herb notes. Crafted from limestone-rich soils straddling the French and German border, this wine reflects the Becker family’s relentless pursuit of excellence.
Wine Enthusiast
Richer style of Pinot Noir, with a deep well of black cherry and violet notes at the core, while the frame is decorated with forest floor and loam. Tannins, although firm, are nicely integrated and together with acidity give this support and form good structure.
