Blue Slate Kabinett Mosel Riesling 2022

9.1

Lovely nose of petroleum/ fresh cut rubber hose, flinty mineral, ripe pear, white-fleshed stone fruit, lemon-lime zest, ginger spice, and flinty mineral, and that it's a light Kabinett, with notes of orchard blossom, white peach, and lime, balanced by great acidity and sweetness . The finish is direct and moderately long finish. Bright refreshing fruit driven and crisp. — 7 days ago

No sediment, so I popped and poured. Explosive nose has super-deep, pure spicy blackberry Zin fruit. Purity of fruit is a hallmark (in my experience) of Ridge’s Dusi Ranch cuvée. There’s also a bit of clove from the American oak, but it’s pretty subtle. Great intensity of flavor in the mouth, with a soft, enveloping texture. It’s big, at 14.8%, but it’s balanced. And keeping things under 15 in Paso is challenging. Terrific wine. Yummo. — 2 months ago
