Domaine Ostertag - Fronholz A l'Orient d'Eden 2021 (750ml) Gamay Noir

Domaine Ostertag - Fronholz A l'Orient d'Eden 2021 (750ml) Gamay NoirJohn Steinbecks East of Eden inspired the name for this wine that reached the entrance to paradise. Andrs talented wife, Christine Colin, designed the beautiful label. Among a cornucopia of aroma and flavor, Andr found powdered irises when we tasted it together in Epfig. I found it to be quite unctuous, with a plethora of spices. A masterpiece from Ostertag that has been fittingly commemorated with a beautiful work of arttwo for the price of one!!
