The Kessler 2009 Silvaner-Riesling displays luscious apricot and pineapple tinged with oregano lemon grass and salt and seemingly underlain by wet stone. There is a striking sense of transparency to mineral underpinnings as well as of lift to the long juicy finish that is further accented by bitter hints of melon rind. This (as often) sensational value whose like one has to scour the world of wine to find elsewhere (Muscadet anyone?) should be enjoyed within 2-3 years. (Beginning with the present vintage the label on this for most Americans unfamiliar as well as recession-beating blend is the same as that of the estates other wines.)
