  (Hirsch Riesling Zöbing) ($32.00) Pungent as opposed to “flowery,” funky like irises can be. Only 11.6% alc but driven by extract; riven by extract, in fact; ultra-minerally and very dry; has a finishing fullness deriving from its extract but in essence this is strict almost formal dry Riesling. (NOTE: the two 1er-Lage Rieslings in 2010 were extremely unready; in fact the Heiligenstein wasn’t quite done fermenting, so until they can be properly appraised, I’ll offer you the beautiful ‘09s again.)
