This smells like a typical Mosel kabinett, offering up hints of crushed stone and fresh flower-shop greenery. It’s styled appropriately, with modest alcohol and a hint of residual sugar. It just lacks the extra flash of fruit and acidity needed to raise it to the next level, leaving it a good if somewhat commercial effort.

There’s a slight hint of mushroominess to this wine’s aromas, but otherwise it’s rather clean, featuring apricot and candied orange aromas and flavors. Offers plenty of depth without being syrupy, ending with a pithy note to help balance the sweetness. Drink now.

Light and lacking substance, with simple lime and apple flavors that finish short.

This is a bit sweet and heavy, but it combines honeyed fruit with underripe green notes of herbs and limes to make a reasonably flavorful package.

A hint of dried apricot underscores the ripe apple aromas in this fresh and appealing auslese. It’s sweet but not overly so, with apple and melon flavors that are plesantly round without becoming soft.

An oddball of an eiswein. Bizarre earthy, brothy notes combine with honeyed sweetness to make for an "interesting" tasting experience.

Sweet and plump, this apple and melon-scented Riesling offers no great character or length but is cleanly made, fresh and fruity.

Scents of ripe apples and a hint of dried apricot are pleasant enough, but the wine is simple and sweet, lacking richness or depth.

Bargain-priced eiswein doesn’t grow on trees (it’s picked from frozen vines), but this offering is excellent. Honey and baked apple scents lead into flavors of poached or baked apple and pears, touched with a hint of bergamot. Clean and focused on the finish, so it doesn’t end up sticky and cloying.

This thick, oily-textured wine lacks the freshness and vibrance expected from a Mosel Riesling, but does offer some suggestion of minerality and some vaguely apple-like fruit.
