Jean Stodden’s 'J' Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) is a fine example of Germany's ability to make the finest Pinot Noir. They've extracted maximum character from the grapes without putting its elegance into any jeopardy whatsoever. This is a light wine but with a punch of intense red berries and raspberries and a hint of spice from carefully used oak barrels, and the impressive vibrancy gives the finish remarkable length.
