Emmerich Knoll 2008 Ried Schütt Smaragd Riesling (Wachau)

Price $70

This is one of the great Rieslings from the Wachau, a wonderful panoply of ripe, tropical fruit, pierced with flint, spice and minerality. It is rich and opulent, while never losing sight of the core tautness of a fine Riesling. — R.V. (12/31/2010)

Emmerich Knoll 2006 Ried Schütt Smaragd Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)

Cellar Selection

Price $50

Pepper and power mark this impressively rich wine. Tropical fruits, mangos and lychees are layered with minerality and acidity. A wine that needs some aging in order to release the full potential of its structure and fruit weight. — R.V. (5/1/2008)

points

Emmerich Knoll 2008 Ried Loibenberg Smaragd Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)

Cellar Selection

Price $50

The Knoll Grüner style is for a hint of steel, doses of minerality and not too much ornateness despite the wonderfully elaborate traditional bottle labels. The intense fruit, spice and peach character is balanced by acidity, a taut, nervy edge. It will certainly age for 5–6 years. — R.V. (12/31/2010)

points

Emmerich Knoll 2006 Ried Schütt Smaragd Riesling (Wachau)

Price $67

A finely constructed wine that is likely to age over many years. With its juicy currant flavors still dominated by minerality and citrus, there is some austerity. It is a complex wine showing great terroir character from the steep vineyard site. — R.V. (5/1/2008)

points

Emmerich Knoll 2006 Loibenberg Smaragd Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)

Price $50

Big, opulent and round, this is a superrich wine that manages to keep its sense of proportion through a rocky, stony interior structure. The tropical fruits, yellow peaches and apricots go with a powerful dose of pepper, leaving richness to finish. — R.V. (5/1/2008)

points

Emmerich Knoll 2007 Ried Schütt Smaragd Riesling (Wachau)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

This is Knoll’s flagship wine, from the Dürnstein Schütt vineyard. It is powerful, intense stuff, a roll-call of ripe flavors, even in the difficult 2007 vintage. The wine brings out spice, yellow fruits, fresh apple skins and peppered grapefruit. The extra element is the complexity that goes deep into flavors that need to develop over several years. — R.V. (7/1/2009)

points

Emmerich Knoll 2008 Ried Kreutles Smaragd Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)

Price $39

Superb, rich, fruited wine that has an intense creamy character to go with spice and ripe apples, peach and greengage. It has great elegance, a very stylish character, keeping the richness beautifully in balance. Age this wine for 3–4 years. — R.V. (12/31/2010)

points

Emmerich Knoll 2008 Ried Pfaffenberg Steiner Riesling (Kremstal)

Price $35

A beautiful combination of ripe, tropical fruits with flint, honey and smoke. There is a great steely backbone here, offering a linear character as well as elegant, ageworthy fruit. — R.V. (12/31/2010)
