Unlike any Riesling I've tasted - but then again I've never tasted a Kabinet Troken. When I opened the bottle bubbles came to the surface. This spritz continued through the early tasting. It was very dry, almost austere, rather high in acids - not at all like the heavily fruited California Rieslings (even the dry ones). Nevertheless, I enjoyed the crisp accurate Riesling rendering.

(Müller-Catoir Haardt Riesling Kabinett Trocken) ($32.00) Filigree and yet packed tight with rock-dust and wet straw, a little phenolic nip, but a clear bead of vinosity all the way into the deliberate finish.
