Weingut Friedrich Becker
For most collectors, the wily fox on Fritz Becker's label is indelibly linked to pinot noir, but the white wines here have improved noticeably over the past few years. The color in his cheeks makes it clear that Becker himself now spends most of his time in the vineyards. His son, also named Fritz, has not only taken over responsibility for the cellar but is also slowly becoming the face of the estate. The 2011 pinot noirs appear to be a touch more extracted and more obviously oaked than were their predecessors. Is this a change in style? In any case, they are not so flamboyant or immediately approachable as they were in the past. Time will tell, though, if, as the new generation believes, they age better.
