White - Sparkling
2008 Reichsrat Von Buhl Riesling Sekt Brut
Yeasty. Heavy. Dry and mineral. Would have a hard time picking this out as Riesling.
White
2010 Rudolf Fürst Müller-Thurgau "pur mineral"
Green tones. Medium weight, some glycerine. Neutral flavors. Reminiscent of white Graves.
White
2010 Schloss Schönborn Riesling Trocken
Peach aromatics. Light to medium weight. Dry. Not much flavor.
White
White
2009 Emrich-Schönleber Riesling Lenz
Apricot. Viscous and off dry. Powerful rockiness on the finish.
White
2010 Weingut Josef Leitz Rüdesheimer Drachenstein Riesling Dragonstone
Nectarine. Light weight. Crisp, tart flavors with a bit of residual sugar. Good value.
White
2010 Mönchhof Robert Eymael Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett
Aromatic citrus. Large scaled for Kabinett. Moderate residual sugar, good stony finish. Very good.
White - Off-dry
2010 Mönchhof Robert Eymael Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Spätlese
More penetrating aromatics than the Kabinett. Lush, fairly sweet, good acidity. More Auslese in character, not as mineral as the Kabinett.
White - Off-dry
2010 Weingut Josef Leitz Rüdesheimer Magdalenenkreuz Riesling Spätlese
Lime nose. Rich entry and spicy, but tremendous minerality and acidity cut through the sweetness. My clear favorite of the tasting and great value at $21.
White - Off-dry
2010 Schloss Lieser Niederberg Helden Riesling Spätlese
Early petrol. Ripe entry, intense citrus fruit balanced by almost painful structure (but here, pain is pleasure). Very good.
White - Off-dry
2010 Mönchhof Robert Eymael Erdener Prälat Riesling Auslese
Minty. Glycerine and sweet. Delicious yellow peach with acidity that sneaks up at the end.
