    A wine that tastes as it looks: yellow. Yellow apple, banana, a bit of pineapple, certainly lemon. Lovely minerally nose. Medium dry with a buttery texture, fine and tightly focused, but there's not much to the finish. A good compliment to dal. It gains some weight on the third day but also loses focus and starts trending toward flabbiness. Guess I should've drunk this younger.

    Really awesome stuff, amazing for a QbA. Explosive scents right out of the gate of exotic fruit and fresh vegetation, almost Gruner-like in how enticing the green character is. Tastes mostly dry with the RS just adding some plumpness and creaminess; it still snaps like a whip and throws a little sour in with the sweet as the tropical flavors segue to something more like tequilla.

    Lime and wet stone on the nose. Off-dry with nice balancing act between the sugar and the acidity. Creamy mouthfeel. Very good wine and excellent QPR.

    This really hit the spot. Just gently off-dry, it was nicely ripe, balanced, and fresh. We had it with a simple grilled chicken with olives and some potatoes, and it was a great match. I've had a hard time finding nice, authentic, affordable everyday wines like this lately. Thanks Lyle.

    (Steinmetz Alte Reben Feinherb) From two plots of ungrafted vines in the Muhlheimer Sonnenlay this wine is classic Mosel. Piercing nose of mineral, lemon zest, slate, and other citrus fruits. An intense and very focused nose. Palate is ripe with just enough acidity and a velvety texture

    (Steinmetz Alte Reben Feinherb) The grapes from this particular bottling come from two ungrafted plots in the Muhlheimer Sonnenlay. The wine has a beautiful nose of slate, lime zest, lemon and creamed corn. The palate is rich and buttery but with just the right amount of acidity to balance it all out. The texture is wonderful as is the concentration and purity. This is so Mosel but in a richer more full-bodied style. Fantastic stuff and can be had for $16 a bottle. A steal for this level of quality.
