Blue Slate Kabinett Mosel Riesling 2022

Amy
9.1

Lovely nose of petroleum/ fresh cut rubber hose, flinty mineral, ripe pear, white-fleshed stone fruit, lemon-lime zest, ginger spice, and flinty mineral, and that it's a light Kabinett, with notes of orchard blossom, white peach, and lime, balanced by great acidity and sweetness . The finish is direct and moderately long finish. Bright refreshing fruit driven and crisp. — 3 days ago

Erdener Treppchen Kabinett Mosel Riesling 2023

The nose was a bit closed at first but is now opening up with chalk and lovely lemon curd and lemon zest notes as the wine slowly warms up in the glass. There is also a light floral touch too along with some fresh white grape.
This is very inviting. The palate is superb with a superlative acid backbone, some delicious lemon curd and zesty notes all along, some chalky mouthfeel that changes in the rear with a bit of grip, before a long, fresh and tangy finish with lemon curd and that zesty twist that makes you reach for the bottle for a second glass right after the first one. This is unmistakably a German Riesling Kabinett, and a great example at that!
Edit : now that the wine has warmed up in the glass, notes of fresh white peach and roasted pineapple with honey are popping up in the nose. Delicious!

9.2

Impressive for its focus and presentation. Green Apple and grapefruit on the nose and palate. Clean and laser-focused with lychee on the back end. Super summer’s day sipper. Tilting sweet. First time trying this producer. Was not aware that NY was producing wines of this quality. — 2 months ago

We did a road trip to the Finger Lakes in 2022. Real nice Reisling & Cab Franc. There’s also some beautiful hiking.
