The 2020 Bernkasteler Badstube Kabinett offers an aromatic bouquet of fully ripe fruit and crushed stones. Round and mouth-filling on the palate, this is a hedonistic Kabinett with very fine, mineral acidity. Just a...

Very cool and reserved, but with great underplayed power, this is in every sense a very serious wine. Major structure crammed into a sleek package. Stunning depth at the very long, herbal and mineral finish. From...

With its redcurrant and grapefruit-pith aromas this harmonious dry riesling should appeal to many sauvignon blanc fans. Light body with green-apple freshness at the slightly austere, earthy finish. Drink now. Screw cap.

(WA 94-95 points) The 2018 Scharzhofberger Spätlese offers a very fine and delicate, coolish, precise and flinty bouquet with bright and elegant fruit notes. On the palate, this is a finessed, beautifully round and lush...

Elegant, with an enticing angel food cake texture to the ripe apple, peach and baked pear flavors. Very spicy, showing hints of cream and plenty of honey on the rich, alluring finish. Drink now through 2035. 20 cases...

Very nice citrusy fruit on the palate and enough acidity to balance the medium-full body. There's a hint of marzipan on the nose that takes a little bit away from it. Made from organically grown grapes.
