Nose is elegant tropical flowers. WOW. A hint of finely crushed minerals.

Palate is peach and apricot nectar. So clean. So perfect. Mountain stream. Perfect acidic balance.

Kalkstein Blaufränkisch

some bic lighter and graphite on the nose, tiny bit of burnt orange peel. super-slick viscosity medium-medium-light feel, cranberry-skin quick dissolve to black stalk vegetation and a kind of cherry-pit bitterness that is really pleasant. has that racy edge of a pre-release pinot, the barrel-tasted variety, or a super fresh gamay, and so good with food. great acid to tannin ratio. happiness for half this table! there is one participant at this table for whom the acid veers toward overly tart :P......no judgement. parked one more for comparison in a year or two. — 6 years ago

Kabinett Riesling 2016

If I’ve found a sweet spot it’s definitely value Kabinett Riesling - $15-$25. Show me another white grape this consistent and with complexity in this price range. Much thanks is owed to Terry Thiese and the Skurnick team for making wines available from producers like Jakob Schneider, Carl Loewen, Muelenhoff, Selbach-Oster, and Muller-Catoir. Each have a modestly priced Kabinett showing plenty of acid and explosive smokey citrus fruit. This week’s was Jakob Schneider - just off dry with flinty, flowery, ginger notes. Great for pre-dinner snacking. — 8 years ago

@Alex Lallos it just tastes so good intrinsically. Unlike chardonnay, for instance, which is a blank slate. It needs an expert winemaker to make it sing. Riesling can be amazing on its own.

Agreed. A lot of grosses gewachs are more complex and just as massive as grand cru white burgs

Incredible aromas, so many layers. Palate is not quite as impressive but that just says a lot about how intoxicating the nose is. — 5 years ago

Sobernheim Roter Tonschiefer Riesling 2015

Wow. Great wine. Very distinctive. Definitely nahe but very particular and wonderful. The aromatics assault the nose with minerals and acid. The palate has moderate nahe tropical fruit. Not too tropical which I liked. A bit blast of minerals and acid. Remarkably fresh. Bought from Fass Selections. — 8 years ago
