More like a Spatlese Feinherb. Gorgeous nose. Spice and mineral. So floral. Gorgeous. Winsome. Smells like a dry wine. Palate is dense with some epic acidity that thunders on the mineral tinged finish. This is epic but needs 5 years. What a finish and what acidity. — 7 years ago

Pale straw with green edges and aromas of white flesh, spice and herb notes. On the palate pear and melon flavors with grassy herbs and mild pepper tones. Well balanced, medium finish ending with lemon zest. Consistent quality. Age worthy. Very Nice. — 7 years ago

The pale golden straw color is appealing, while the nose certainly isn’t scaring anyone away. Clean earth notes define the apple, papaya and lime aromas beautifully. The palate shows off-dry pear, apple and Meyer lemon flavors on a bed of acidity. Finishing long, it’s the earth and citrus that stays around after the sip. The wine’s body makes it a lot more versatile that just “salads and sipping.” Winemaker Markus Niggli recommends you pair it with anything off the grill. — 9 years ago

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. — 7 years ago

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

Classic. Gooseberry, mineral, lemon drops and minerals the nose. Gorgeous blend of Nahe/NZ. Palate is ripe yet elegant and mineral with Meyer Lemon. Terrific. Gets more lithe and complex as it sits. — 9 years ago

Dynamic floraly herbal aromas of green pear, starfruit, lemon, and green herbs. Wonderfully dry and just what I wanted tonight. Tastes like fruity green beans, crushed gravel, a hint of papaya and snap peas. Austrian gem — 7 years ago
