Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Riedel Vinum XL Pinot Noir Glass, Set of 2
Customer Review: THIS is THE glass!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you look at my review of the Riedel "Vinum Pinot Noir" glass, you will read of my terrific disappointment with that model, which, somewhat ironically, is death for pinot noir; and my praise for the "Oregon Pinot Noir" glass Riedel developed for and distributed to participants in the International Pinot Noir Celebration in McMinnville a couple of years ago.
Yes, this is that IPNC glass, now dubbed the "Vinum XL" and part of the standard Riedel lineup. Silly name -- "Vinum XL" sounds like a "limited edition" Ford pickup truck with flames painted along the side. Great glass -- it is something of a scaled down version of the Sommelier Burgundy glass. This glass is durable, nicely balanced, a comfortable size, lays nicely in the hand -- and is reasonably priced. It does wonders for just about any wine I've ever had in it -- and I've had lots, from Muscadet "Clos des Briords" to Roulot Meursault "Tessons" to Cotat "Grande Cote" to Jasmin Cote Rotie to Bachelet Charmes Chambertin to Patricia Green "Ana" pinot noir to Selvapiana Chanti Rufina Riserva to... hundreds more by now. They all seem to thrive in this voluptuously bell-shaped open bowl, with its elegantly pinched and flared top. Serve about an inch or so of wine at the bottom -- leaving lots of room for swirling and, given the capacity of the glass, a substantial individual serving. This is now my glass for all but the grandest occasions and we bought lots and lots.
Description of Riedel Vinum XL Pinot Noir Glass, Set of 2
Created during several workshops with the famed Oregon growers and producers, the shape of this Riedel Vinum XL Pinot Noir glass clearly shows the fresh compact fruit of Northwest Pinot Noir and highlights the irresistible sweetness, while perfectly balancing the acidity and de-emphasizing the alcohol to create a perfect picture of the wine. Or, in the words of Georg Riedel, this new stem is 'The perfect Oregon Pinot Noir dream glass.' Positioned as the new generation of Riedel wine glasses, the Vinum XL collection brings fresh excitement to the benchmark Vinum machine blown range.A bold adaptation of Riedel's popular Vinum stemware line, XL incorporates the same varietal-specific shapes into larger sized silhouettes for a dramatic effect at the table or bar. Each piece is machine-made of premium 24-percent lead crystal to combine the brilliance and clarity of fine glass with a welcomed affordability that makes it perfect for everyday use. With gently curved bowls perched on slender, solid stems and thick bases, they also unite classic elegance with user-friendly durability. This set of two 28-1/4-ounce Pinot Noir glasses is designed to showcase the unique characteristics of Oregon's renowned Pinots with a lovely tulip shape that highlights the luscious fruit and minimizes acidity. Go ahead and explore the richness of this region! Because crystal is course and porous to intensify flavors, hand washing is recommended to protect it. Made in Germany. 9-1/2 inches tall. --Kara Karll
