* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Light and fresh, marked by flavors of pie cherries, cranberries and fresh herbs or grasses. Crisp and tart on the finish.

Breuer’s entry-level wine isn’t cheap, but it’s also pretty good, marrying stony, minty scents with flavors of lime, fresh herbs and wet stones. It’s light in body for such an alcoholic Rheingau Riesling, with a clean, fresh finish. Imported by Classical Wines.

Solid and well-rounded, this very tasty wine has lively spice and apple aromas. The juice has nice texture on the tongue, well defined apple and peach flavors, and again the spice, which may be characteristic of the Nonnenberg vineyard. The long, even finish shows the tangy spice elements well. Will drink well for the next five years, maybe more.

On the full-bodied side, but the combined weight of sugar and alcohol is ably balanced by bountiful acids. Floral notes lead off the nose, followed by hints of pineapple and spice, then dried apricots and candied fruit kick in on the palate. Clean on the finish, not overly sweet or cloying.

Big and full-bodied, with just a touch of sugar in evidence, while the alcohol is up to 13%. Petrol and slate notes mark the nose, while the fruit features pineapple, nectarine and melon. Long, powerful and citrusy on the finish, with underlying minerality and spice that provides fascinating complexity. Great now, but there’s no reason this shouldn’t age well for five or more years.

My colleagues tell me I’m being too harsh on this wine, but I just don’t get it. It’s good, but rather austere and unyielding, despite having ripe citrus flavors. There’s also a grassy, herbal note that detracts from the purity of the Riesling fruit. Imported by Classical Wines.

Seems a bit muted and unexpressive, offering up hints of citrus accompanied by rich earth and spice components. A bit full-bodied, almost heavy. Close to dry.

Thick and oily, showing impressive levels of sugar. Starts with honeyed peaches, then shows off marmalade and dried fruit notes on the palate. Definitely big and sweet, but also a bit heavy at this stage. Drink now for the sweetness, or try holding 10 years and see what happens. Imported by Classical Wines.

Smells like warm sandstone and cinnamon, turning crisp and racy on the palate. It’s a bit lean, but offers fine flavors of peach, spice and plenty of mineral notes. Finishes bright and clean. A good value in Rheingau Riesling.

This big, muscular Riesling is practically dry and features very little overt fruitiness. Instead, it’s loaded with minerals: the aromas are of diesel fuel and vegetable oil, the flavors are liquid stone. Finishes long.
