Herrenberg Kabinett Riesling
So bloody solid, & canβt stop myself from drinking. Note to self: just get the case next time

Aug 28th, 2020This is such a seductive wine. It opens lush and creamy, with exuberant peach, asian pear, mango, and pineapple notes which dance around the palate. The opulence is abruptly and violently washed away by a Tsunami of acidity and mouth puckering citrus tones which power a long, resonant finish with stony mineral flavor. It is so silky, so powerful, and so light. An arresting combo. The nose was similarly exciting with a vivid floral top note. The QPR at $24.95 is off the charts, and I am going back for many more

Jun 30th, 2022I was blown away by this! From 115 year old vines planted at high elevation in red slate. Concentrated fruit with a strong mineral backbone. At 9% ABV, this Kabinett has a tad more RS than most, but the cutting acidity balances it perfectly. Superb! 2017 vintage on April 30, 2019

Jan 18th, 2018Wow - superb concentration here. Quite thick and sweet on he attack with citrus and flowers, but searing - and I do mean searing - acidity and grip on the back end. Needs time for the two elements to meld together into a more harmonious whole, but this is a lot of wine for $21.
