Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Honeyed pineapple slices meet sweaty-salty notes on the nose, then turn succulently fruity on the palate. It may not be as complex as the trocken-style Grosses Gewächs bottling, but it’s still beautifully balanced and very drinkable. Perhaps the minerality will emerge with additional bottle age.

Shows green fruit and slightly herbal nuances on the nose, then delivers crystalline structure and purity of lime fruit and liquid minerals in the mouth. Although only light to medium in body, this is a powerhouse, with a long finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Racy, lime-driven aromas marry with plump, peachy flavors in this easy-to-drink wine. It’s more fruit cocktail than wet stones; not that minerally or complex but enjoyable for its forward fruit.

This terrific spätlese features honey and spice and everything nice. This turns the clever trick of being sweet without being fruity, offering up complex umami-like flavors alongside touches of brown sugar. It’s creamy through the midpalate yet finishes with vibrant acidity, making it easy to drink.

Floral, spicy and a bit Gewürztraminer-like on the nose, this is a very fresh, fruity example of Pfalz Muscat. It’s light in body, with touches of spice and orange zest on the finish. Great apéritif.

Müller-Catoir Muskateller - 2007

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The smoky, minerally aspects of the site show through even a thick veil of botrytis. This is intensely honeyed, filled with dried apricot and candied pineapple flavors, yet not without nuance. Incredibly sweet, but as balanced as a wine this unctuous can be, with a long, mouthwatering finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Floral, musky and spicy, this is almost a little Gewürztraminer-like on the nose. The flavors of dried pineapple are incredibly intense, giving a bright, piercing edge of acidity to the sweet finish. At almost 300 g/l residual sugar this is really sweet, but the acids are super-high as well (18.5 g/l TA), making for a balanced wine—albeit one with the volume cranked to 11.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
From a parcel within the Burgergarten vineyard, this is an explosively mineral wine, layered with smoky, salty notes. There’s ripe peach fruit, but it’s more complex than that, also offering up hints of roasted root veggies, sweated carrots and onions. The midpalate is creamy, while the finish is long and tinged with mouthtingling limes.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Labels like this one are probably what confuse American consumers, but the truth is that this is just great wine. Peach and mineral notes with a generous squirt of lime mark the nose, followed by a round, juicy midpalate and with lots of fruit and lots of minerality. It’s lush, yet structured with firm acids on the long finish.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This Pinot Blanc is broader and fuller-bodied than M-C’s Rieslings, but not as minerally or complex. It’s easy to drink, featuring exotic notes of mango and banana balanced by citrus blossom and chalk.
