Urban Riesling 2007

  • Area: Germany, Mosel
  • Grape: Riesling
  • Alcohol: 10%
  • Rating: Black 89 Dilettante 89 Nwjr 89
Description: Aromas of gasoline, pineapple and slate. Alluring flavors of lemony citrus, pineapple, black current and slate are held together by a glycerin base. The lingering finish has a pleasant back of the tongue tangyness. We liked this wine (and its price) so much, I picked up another bottle the other day.

Price: $8 An excellent value.

Studert Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese Riesling 2003

  • Area: Germany, Mosel
  • Grape: Riesling Spatlese
  • Alcohol: 9%
  • Rating: Black 92, Dilettante 94, Nwjr 93
Description: Pineapple, gasoline and minerals make up the nose. The attack is sweet and loaded with pineapple and citrus. Thick and syrupy in the mouth with flavors of bitter oranges, grapefruit, nectarine and apricot. It finishes dry with a green apple tartness. This heavy white attacks sweet, morphs into sour then finishes dry. Black said, "it's a fruit cocktail. Hmmm, there has to be a cherry in there somewhere." We loved this heavy and complex white. Great with blue cheese, turkey and Chinese. Best served slightly cooler.

Price: $17
