The high-tech vineyard designation does not diguise the shortcomings in this vapid and extremely disappointing wine from the usually reliable Kunde. Very tight and unyielding, closed, tart, with no intensity or flavor interest. Some distant fruit and pepper notes, but overall a thin effort. Totally overpriced for a wine of this little appeal. We wouldn't get more of it for $5. - WB Team 2000-10-18
