about this wine:
The Riesling Trocken estate wine is sourced from parcels that
neighbor the estate's classified single-vineyard sites. The deep and medium-deep soils of the vineyards consist of stony, fragmented phyllite mixed with loess and loam. The character of this Riesling, like all Robert Weil Rieslings, is defined largely by these mineral-rich soils.

Like all of the Weil wines, even this entry-level effort places an emphasis on ripeness. Hints of smoke and diesel add complexity to the nose, while on the palate it's broad and slightly off-dry, with sun-drenched flavors of nectarine and melon that coat the mouth on the finish. - J.C.

Loads of spice, mineral, grapefruit and apricot mark this rich, yet vibrant dry Riesling. Racy yet well-balanced, with a lingering finish. Drink now through 2012. 1,000 cases imported. -BS
