I hate it when storage and transports robs the potential of a wine away, but I hate it even more when it happens to a wine I usually adore. Such was the case here. There was just too much distracting petrol notes on the nose for a Riesling this young. Having said that, there was still lots packed into this wine, especially on the palate. Seriously structured with laser acidity, and very generous on the fruit end (as expected of Hubacker). Finish was quite long, almost exotic, with some minerality although it pales in comparison to the Mosel GG we drank this with. The others on the table certainly enjoyed the wine, though I can’t say the label didn’t help. — 5 months ago

lovely expression.
🌺, 🍋, 🍏, White 🫑 and copper all the way.
enough acid to confuse a few hippies in the parking lot right before a grateful dead concert.
paired lovely with a hot day out picnic-ing with some jahnun (yemen pastry), salsa, tahini and spicy sauce (zhug). and a good fresh salad

Pale straw color. Smells sweet tastes like tangy white grape juice, with a touch of lemon chiffon pie. Smooth. — 3 months ago
