Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This small merchant house is best known for its great Vendanges Tardives. But at the simpler level, this Riesling Collection is dry and fresh, with a great floral character, deceptively light acidity and a subtly spicy aftertaste.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Sylvaner doesn’t make the finest Alsace wines, but it can make some of the most drinkable. As an apéritif, this is delicious: fresh and crisp, with citrus and green plum flavors and a hint of almonds. Kuentz-Bas is a family-owned négociant making a full range of Alsace wines in Husseren-les-Châteaux, named after the three ruined castles that dominate the hill behind the village.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Earthy, hedgerow aromas and some floral character set the scene for a soft, delicate wine that is still very young. Offers acidity, good structure and flavors of almonds. Imported by Kermit Lynch.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A full-bodied, dry style, which emphasizes spice rather than richness. This is a good apéritif wine, with a touch of acidity. No need to age this wine, drink now. Imported by Kermit Lynch.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
There’s already some petrol character to this attractive wine, which also has great acidity and a fine, bone- dry feel. On the palate, there are some intense currant flavors. A great food wine with good concentration. Imported by Kermit Lynch.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A great, intense wine, probably the most impressive in the line-up of Kuentz-Bas grand crus. The structure, tannins and concentrated fruit all work together, while the toast and green apples combine to give it both depth and a lift. It should age as well, over the next 5–10 years. Imported by Kermit Lynch.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This grand cru vineyard, renowned for its Gewürztraminer, is also able to produce elegant Riesling. This wine is rich and dry, with fresh acidity and a lovely steely, mineral character. There is green fruit, and crispness, with a fine structure. This should develop well over the next 5 years. Imported by Kermit Lynch.

A fresh, crisp Riesling, with just a touch of sweetness. It is light, fresh and easy to drink, but also has good intensity of flavor to give it depth and some complexity. A selection from Kuentz-Bas hillside vineyards. Imported by Kermit Lynch.
