I need to make a clarification, however. The Kracher Scheurebe tastes a little like Earl Grey tea but isn't made from it. The wine is made entirely from Scheurebe grapes and has taken on the Earl Grey flavor perhaps during bottle aging. Wine made from grapes taste like lots of different things - apples, blackcurrants, peaches, hay, rocks, tea, coffee, etc - but with a few exceptions rarely like grapes. I hope this helps. Best regards, Steve Hi Lorraine,

A luxurious but deft wine that is drinking beautifully in its middle age. Runners up > Beaucastel 1997 CDP Blanc, Suavia 2004 Saove Monte Carbonare (introduced to me by Donato Scotti, chef/owner La Strada, Palo Alto).

One question: did Oremus make it before being bought by Vega Sicilia? I’ve had the Oremus Mandolas and enjoyed it as well.
