Winery - Husch
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Made from wild yeasts, hence the name, this wine is twice the size of Husch’s regular ’03 Sauvignon Blanc. It’s rich and intense in fig, apple, grapefruit, honeydew and spice flavors, with a creamy texture brightened by firm acids and sweetened with considerable oak. One of the more rewarding Sauvignon Blancs I’ve had in a while.

When I think of Husch wines I think of acidity, and this wine has lots of it. It’s perfectly dry and tart, with ripe green-apple flavors and a pleasant spiciness.

This is a very pure, clear Pinot Noir. It doesn’t have a lot of alcohol, extract or oak. It’s ripe in cherries and blueberries, but not overripe. The acidity is bright and the mouthfeel is silky. In other words, it’s super-drinkable.

As the name implies, this is Husch’s dry Gewürz. It’s a balanced, crisply acidic, fresh wine that showcases the variety’s lychee, citrus and wildflower flavors and rich trove of Asian spices.

Although this Cab was grown in the warmer area inland from Anderson Valley, it’s still not quite ripe. There’s something vegetal in the aroma, although it’s considerably sweeter in cherry fruit, not to mention oak, in the mouth, which saves it.

Cultivated from a single vine many years ago that the then-vineyard manager believed was special, Husch’s Vine One Chard is a soft, exotic wine. It combines smoky-sweet oak notes with baked apple, pear and quince flavors that finish dry and spicy.

Fresh and appley, an easy drinking Chard with all the basic features of oak, creamy texture and refreshing acids. Not especially layered or complex, but friendly and clean.

Lean and tight, this is an appley wine with high acidity. The minerally, steely texture is firm and just the right match for fish. The oaky overlay adds richness but does not overwhelm this young, vivacious wine. —S.H.

One hundred percent new French oak has given this wine splinters. It blasts out smoky char and vanilla, and you can even taste oak on the sappy-sweet finish. Underneath all that are peach and tropical fruit flavors, but you have to search for them. Sometimes, less is more.
