Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 85.3 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 10 notes)

 Tasted by BYOBrett on 5/28/2009 & rated 88 points: a nice riesling with a full, round mouth feel with lots of tropical fruit flavors. a bit on the new world side as far as style ... the acidity is there but not what I was expecting from a Mosel as far as acidity and minerality. A nice bottle and a good value in the $18 range, but not extraordinary. (565 views)
 Tasted by Maxine on 1/11/2009 & rated 87 points: Always enjoyable.Goes well with food. (702 views)
 Tasted by Maxine on 1/2/2009 & rated 90 points: This is a more complex Riesling, and works very well with spicy food. This is a mid range sweet level wine - not overly sweet. We compared it against four other Rieslings in the same price range, and remained impressed. (698 views)
 Tasted by cygnus83 on 12/9/2007: Unremarkable, but enjoyable. 0 (1474 views)
 Tasted by dartboard on 10/12/2007 & rated 85 points: Tasted apple cider, maybe some pear. Relatively dry for a riesling. A good value! (1913 views)
 Tasted by Anonymous on 9/22/2007 & rated 83 points: (1652 views)
 Tasted by mulligan452002 on 8/5/2007 & rated 79 points: Tasted at the Clarkston Cafe at the 2007 Flying Rhinos annual wine tasting benefit. A sweetish Riesling from California and not Germany (not something I've often had). Not bad, but I didn't buy any. High average. (2062 views)
 Tasted by amateurwino on 7/27/2007: Not giving this a score, but it was solid but unremarkable dry riesling. (1962 views)
 Tasted by gsimd on 6/25/2007: What a great value. Nice sweetness, minerality and acidity make this a terrific match for anything spicy. (2025 views)
 Tasted by gsimd on 4/18/2007: Nice bang for the buck on this. The nose shows thyme, rosemary and wet stone. On the palate your are hit with an interesting blend of nutmeg, apple peel and lemon zest. The sweetness is never cloying as it's balanced with good acidity and a long clean finish. Very nice! (2208 views)

Wines of Germany | The Association of German Prädikat Wine Estates (VDP) | How to read a German wine label
Starting in 2007 the German wine authorities have changed labeling laws to rename all of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wines to just "Mosel." This puts this and other database driven sites in a difficult, as millions of old wine label reflect the former labeling. As described here, CellarTracker has elected to remain with the old labeling for a number of years to avoid confusion. At some point we will switch over to just "Mosel" but not for a few years at least. Mosel WeinKulturland (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer Wein e.V.)
