Herrnsheim tends toward a drier style of wine without labeling it as such, so this kabinett is crisp and almost dry-tasting. Apple blossoms and limes on the nose are complemented by hints of diesel and a tart, steely finish.

Starts with slightly floral apple and pear aromas, developing tons of tropical fruit flavors on the palate; soft and inviting yet full-flavored. Not a simple fruit bomb, as it reveals smoky, minerally nuances on the long finish.

Modest melon and baked apple notes are offset by earthier, slatier nuances, wrapped around a core of grapefruity acids. A bit tart, but well made and deserving of a place at the table.

Light and dry, with aromas of citrus and honey, and flavors reminiscent of nasturtium blossoms—floral and peppery. Grapefruit takes charge on the tart, clean finish. —J.C.

This wine shows the perils in producing trocken-style wines. There’s no sugar to hide the wine’s apparent underripeness. It tastes lean and citrusy, screaming of grapefruit on the finish. Try with raw oysters or clams. It’s a Riesling that could stand in for Chablis or Muscadet. —J.C.

A fairly big, broad-shouldered wine that displays ripe baked apple and spice scents, but also intense minerality. The slightly oily texture comes off like creamy molten rock, finishing long and mostly dry, with lingering slatey notes.

On the big (12% alcohol) and dry side, with weighty flavors of minerals and spice undergirding ripe apple and pineapple notes. Not a traditional fruchtig kabinett, but one that should go well with rich fish dishes and roast chicken. Long on the finish.

A bit pricey, but it’s a fine dry Riesling, filled with green apples, limes and hints of slate. The slightly powdery texture in the mouth speaks of crushed rock and minerals, while the zesty lime flavors linger on the finish. —J.C.

Straightforward baked apple and dried spice aromas and flavors combine pleasantly in this value-priced regional blend. It’s weighty enough to work with food, sweetly balanced enough to work on its own, with a peppery bite to the finish. Best Buy. —J.C.
