Popped this after a recent discussion with @Ian Macdonald comparing notes on St. Urbans-Hof. A needed check in of the 2016 vintage in the Mosel as well. A daily drinking pick-up from my last trip to Bottle Barn (Santa Rosa, CA).

Zesty with minerals, apple nectar, gooseberry and cinnamon. Honey sweet, but mayched by good acidity.

The wine isn't very aromatic at all but there are hints of apple and peach. On the palate, the complexity is low but the wine benefits, in my opinion, for being simple. Apple, pear, apricot dominate throughout. Acidity is medium. Minerality is surprisingly low. Perhaps a different Riesling than what you might find in his competitors in Mosel. But, if I'm going to have a sweeter Riesling, I'd take this any day.

All the players are here. Apricot, lemon, wet pebbles, honey, and mouth watering acid. Lovely wine from a great vintage.
