  • 2022 Friedrich Becker Weissburgunder 88 Points

    Germany, Pfalz

    The nose is lifted and fresh with vibrant tones of white fruits, pears, green apples, white flowers, and some saline. The nose may not be the most complex, but it does a great job hitting the notes it needs to hit. The Medium bodied feel is fresh with crisp, medium+ acidity that has some nice cut. This is a lovely Weissburgunder that shows off all of the good points and getting straight to the chase.

  • 2021 Karthäuserhof Riesling Bruno Dry 85 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    The nose is fresh with tones of peaches, pears, green apples, and white flowers. The tones are on the simple and straight forward side while lacking some depth. The Light bodied feel shows off the freshness of the nose with tart, high acidity. This is a decent, if straightforward and surface-level Riesling.

  • 2021 Karthäuserhof Bruno Riesling Kab 88 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    The nose is fresh and balanced with tones of stone fruits, peaches, green apples, sweet lemons, pears, and some white flowers. The Light bodied feel shows off the freshness and balance of the nose along with crisp, high acidity. The acidity has some nice cut and mouthwatering qualities, but the nose and feel don’t have too much depth. This is an excellent Feinherb that is extremely easy to drink.

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    The nose is fresh and lifted with fragrant tones of white fruits, lemon peels, green apples, peaches, and white flowers. The Light bodied feel is fresh and lithe with tart, high acidity that makes your mouth water. This is a nice, affordable Riesling. It does everything it needs to do well and it doesn’t need to do anything more.

    Germany, Pfalz

    The nose is fresh and aromatic with balanced tones of peaches, key limes, stone fruits, pears, green apples, and some white flowers. The Light bodied feel is deft and elegant with fresh, high acidity. This is a lovely dry Riesling that does a great job of knocking on the door of a higher level. This really kills it for the level.

  • 2022 Reichsrat Von Buhl Bone Dry Rosé 87 Points

    Germany, Pfalz

    The nose is fresh with tones of red fruits, berries, strawberries, tart green apples, peaches, red flowers, and some stone fruits. This does lack some depth as the tones sit more on the surface, but they are working well together. The Medium bodied feel shows off the freshness of the nose with racy, high acidity. This does lack a little bit as well on the mid-palate, but this is a fun Rose that shows some zippy freshness.

  • 2022 Wagner-Stempel Riesling 89 Points

    Germany, Rheinhessen

    The nose is pristine, fragrant, and balanced with tones of lemon peels, some oils, sweet peaches, pears, limes, green apples, saline, and crushed rocks. There is excellent complexity here, but the tones don’t dig too deep. The Light bodied feel is vibrant and fresh with racy, high acidity that persists. This is excellent and extremely enjoyable for the price point/level.

The Medium/light bodied feel is deft and fresh with racy, high acidity. This is fresh and pretty across the nose and palate.

  • 2022 Hans Wirsching Iphöfer Silvaner trocken 88 Points

    Germany, Franken

    The nose is fresh and crystalline with balanced tones of pears, citrus notes, white fruits, white flowers, lemon peels, and some saline notes. The nose may be slightly simple, but it does what it does well. The Medium/light bodied feel is deft and balanced with racy, high acidity that has some serious cut. The acidity has some real bite, but it doesn’t make the feel seem too steely.

  • 2022 Hans Wirsching Silvaner 86 Points

    Germany, Franken

    The nose is fresh with straightforward tones of saline, white fruits, pears, lemon peels, and apples. The Medium/light bodied feel shows off the freshness of the nose, but it lacks on the mid-palate while possessing tart, high acidity. The acidity has some cut and bite, but it doesn’t dominate. This is nice, but it lacks in some areas and is more straightforward than it is interesting.

  • 2022 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett 92 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    The nose is fragrant and balanced with deft tones of green apples, lemon peels, pears, nectarines, a touch of reduction, flinty notes, and some white flowers. This opens up nicely with a few swirls with excellent depth, though it certainly feels like it is holding back. The Light bodied feel is deft and refined with racy, high acidity that really makes your mouth water. This is delicious right now, but it feels like it has another gear it can kick into with another 4-5+ years of aging.

  • 2022 Joh. Jos. Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett 91 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    The nose is fresh and balanced with a citrus-driven style as tones of limes, nectarines, pears, green apples, lemon peels, grapefruit, candied citrus, saline, and white flowers show off a laid-back quality that fills the glass. The Light bodied feel is refined and poised with tart, high acidity that has a bit of punch. This has room to develop as the tones will work better when they harmonize.

  • 2022 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese 93 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    The nose is well layered and perfumed already with deep tones of pears, nectarines, sweet lemon peels, green apples, flint, kumquat, crushed rocks, acacia flowers, and saline notes. This is a nose that is showing off a real pretty and refined side already that is a joy to smell. The Light bodied feel is deft, refined, and deep with tart, high acidity that makes your mouth water. This is starting off at a great point already and there is clear room to grow from here. I would love to see how this develops over the next 5-8+ years.

  • 2022 Joh. Jos. Prüm Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese 93 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    The nose is intensely perfumed and fresh with flowing tones of nectarines, green apples, lemon oil, apricots, peaches, white fruits, crushed rocks, and a nicely understated flintiness. The Light bodied feel is refined, deep, and balanced with racy, high acidity that has a lot of bite and cut. This is electric right now. It is so good and intense that it really would benefit from air if drunk now. Otherwise, a few years for this to harmonize could see it kick it up a notch.

  • 2021 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese 93 Points

    Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer

    The nose is layered and intense with gorgeous tones of sweet peaches, green apples, apricots, tangerines, sweet lemons, fresh white flowers, and some flint notes. There is a lot perfume here that is close to intoxicating. The Light bodied feel is balanced and deep with tart, high acidity that has excellent cut and mouthwatering capabilities. This is killer now, but I can see this really turning it on when the baby fat is shed.
