| Community Tasting Notes (average 94 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Rhwinetracker on 12/28/2020 & rated 93 points: Pineapple, melon, and elderflower on the nose and the palate. Sugar is balanced by good acidity and minerality. Was fantastic with green curry duck that had a a little heat. (233 views) | | | Tasted by malbrecht on 11/23/2020 & rated 92 points: Peach and wet gravel on the nose, with slight petrol. On the palate this is sweet, with mangos, citrus, and peach followed by some minerality. This has a good level of acid to balance the sweetness of the wine. At 13 years old, this wine is still vibrant. I suspect it has many years left. (193 views) | | | Tasted by GrapeScott on 11/22/2020 & rated 92 points: Thanks Mike for sharing. This has an alluring mineral-laden nose, unctuous mouthfeel and lively flavors of peach, chalk and limestone. Sweet but balanced by lively acids with a long, dry stoney finish. Really lovely. (276 views) | | | Tasted by chefdilletante on 5/28/2020 & rated 99 points: Marked petrol on nose. Bit of effervescence. Juicy with ample acid. Good stuff. (312 views) | | | Tasted by hennlund on 2/12/2010: Lovely, typical young Riesling aromas; apple, citrus, minerals, flowers, and perhaps some spices. Quite concentrated and intense. Very well balanced, lovely, intense tickling acids, a hint of sweetness to balance the acids, medium full, just right. Quite long finish with apple and some tropical fruit and obvious minerals. Very god wine, especially price taken into consideration. (1354 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 2/20/2009: More 2007 Spatlesen (Vin Vino, Palo Alto): Fragrant with citric tones. Light and bright at first with zingy acidity and strong scent of orange rind. Moderate sweetness, picks up weight, honeyed botrytis notes, and evergreen at the end. (2053 views) |

#2014 Vintage Notes:
2014 Vintage Report by Terry Theise
2014 Vintage Report by Wine Spectator
"My gut still tells me the Saar (and to some extent) the Ruwer are better overall in 2014 than the more storied areas of the Mosel proper, but those that spent the requisite time living in their middle-Mosel vineyards made some of the most electric and "feathery" Riesling in a long time (maybe the finest in 20 years - yes, it's true!)" - Jon Rimmerman (Of course only a very short historical memory would call the Saar and Ruwer less 'storied' than the middle Mosel - jht)NaheAn der Nahe erwarten den Besucher sanftes Grün, romantische Flusstäler und dramatische Felsformationen. Dazu gastfreundliche Winzer und ihre vielfältigen Weine.
2.000 Jahre Weinbautradition hat das Anbaugebiet an der Nahe und den Nebenflüssen Glan und Alsenz. Vor kalten Winden durch den hohen Hunsrück geschützt, schaffen milde Temperaturen und viel Sonnenschein ein hervorragendes Klima für den Weinbau in dem regenarmen und sonnigen Tal. Hier wachsen auf rund 4.000 Hektar Rebsorten wie Riesling, Rivaner, und Silvaner. Auch die Spielarten des Burgunders sowie Kerner, Scheurebe, Portugieser und Dornfelder sind hier zu Hause. Lieblingskind der Winzer ist der an Finessen reiche Riesling, ein Viertel der Rebfläche ist damit bestockt.
Eine bewegte Erdgeschichte hat der Nahe-Region eine große Bodenvielfalt beschert. Die Reben wachsen auf Schiefergestein, vulkanischen Porphyr- oder Löss- und Lehmböden. Das ermöglicht eine Vielfalt an Rebsorten und Weinstilen.
