Nose is rainwater, slate, some confectionary notes, but also a bit muted. Palate is playful, juicy and fresh. Shows some ripeness. Ok, if a bit boring. You can tell this is mass produced and “made.”

Another superb 2017 Mosel with great acid and sneaky concentration.

Thought tonight I would try a Riesling from one of my favorite areas of Germany in the Mosel. In this area was probably the first wine that got me really started back in the early 80's, it was. Zeller Schwartz Kats. This wine tonight has the aromatics of Honey, White Peach, Jonagold Apples, with hints of floral notes. When the wine rolled over my lips across my tongue I am getting a bit of viscosity that I like with a good silkyness. Peach, pear and a citrus zest come across in a big way and wet rock minerality and a light acidity that doesn't rip at the tongue. This wine has brought me back to those early 80's.

Zesty citrus and stone fruit along with the characteristic petrol add up to a delicious and food-friendly wine.

2006- lovely Apple and petrol combo and showing quite a bit of golden color. Barely off dry and the minerally components keep it nice and tight. Cassoulet night at home--should be a winner.

A very pretty style, enough RS to handle our Thai spice without being too heavy.

Mouthwatering, delicate and playful. Great Balance of acidity and RS with lime and orange piths, nectarine, subtle floral notes.
