Byron C Mayes

Star bright pale yellow. Subtle inviting nose and medium palate of Meyer lemon, underripe peach, and white flowers. Bracing acidity more than balances the Kabinett-level residual sugar yielding an excellent pair for a wide range of foods (pork and roasted fowl in particular) and a wonderful warm weather sipper. Drink now through 2032.

Pale lemon color with medium+ intensity aromas of floral, ripe stone and citrus fruits with floral notes. On the palate flavors go of ripe peach, apple, lemon, apricot, melon with wet stone mineral. Vivid acidity with great mouthfeel on medium+ finish. Can age a bit but is very good now for optimal freshness.

Star bright pale straw gold. Inviting nose and palate of underripe yellow apple (drinking partner says Granny Smith), a touch of honeysuckle, and a hint of mineral effervescence on the finish. Medium plus acidity balances the Kabinett-level fruit perfectly. It’s Loosen. It’s Mosel. It’s VDP. It’s among the best examples at its price point. Drink now through 2026 with just about anything.

A pale straw in color that is much lighter then Bernkasteler. Immediately you notice the impact of the iron rich red slate soils of the vineyard. It is a bit more muscular, and the nose shows more red fruit. Red apple skin, yellow plum, and green tea are also present. Bigger, but still dances.

All the right aromas and flavors in just the right portions. Long, mellow finish. One of my favorites.
