Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. Ripe apple, plus slightly tropical. Sweet for Kabinett, with sweetness in the forefront. Ok overall.
Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. Schwarz Riesling? Rich red cherry start with good weight but a slightly rustic edge at the very finish. Some earth coming through, so best to enjoy young.
Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. An eccentric wine I think I enjoyed, especially at its barely $20 price. Dense and firm, nearly meaty. And while this seemed ripe, it also could have used more fruit, which seems odd.
Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. Bright apple throughout with good energy. Very good+ for its price and level. Very good now.
Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. Apple and Meyer lemon with some candied lemon peel, but less overt sweetness than I expect from Spätlese, but Laura said the RS is analytically there. Bright and energetic with very good length and balance. Good now, clearly with cellar upside. Fantastic bargain wine.
Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. Apple and lemon with good brightness and length, just too bone jarringly dry for my delicate palate.
Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. Rich and dense with apple, baked apple followed by mango hints that add complexity without throwing this off. Very good weight and balance. Good now, easily able to cellar another decade or two.
Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. Pleasant enough fruit with more interested mineral-driven textures. Drink young to enjoy its freshness.
Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. Floral and charming with lots of green apple and good precision and minerality. Good+ length and balance, and I expect some upside in the cellar.
Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. More black vs red cherry with rounded textures and nicely soft tannins. Fun now, certainly a very good value everyday wine.
Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. Very enjoyable lemon and apple with good brightness and balance. Good now, very good value.
Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. Very balanced and pleasant in a simple manner, yet easy to enjoy and clearly another good value wine.
Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. Intriguing combination of ripe and tart apple with faint tropical hints. Bright and energetic finish with good length.
Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. Rich orchard fruit with some beeswax character. Impressive density and still very bright and minerally on finish. Very enjoyable.

Walk around tasting talking with the producers, brief note. Starts and end with lean red cherry, probably slightly too lean. Good enough for now.
