Helfrich 2007 Steinklotz Grand Cru Riesling

Attractively perfumed Riesling, its fresh acidity matched by white currant fruits and a tight edge of minerality. Good, crisp final brightness. — R.V. (10/1/2010)

A very pretty wine, with intense aromatics of crushed flowers and passionfruit. The palate is flavorful, crisp and refreshing, winding up with a tangy, citrus-accented finish. Serve with light fish preparations. — W.E. (6/1/2010)

Helfrich 2008 Steinklotz Grand Cru Pinot Gris

Smoky, dried fruit-flavored wine. There is some sweetness, its ripe currant flavors boosted by a broad texture and some spice. The acidity seems to be missing. — R.V. (10/1/2010)

Helfrich 2008 Steinklotz Grand Cru Gewurztraminer

This is a soft, rounded wine that has ripe tropical fruit, lychee and mango notes, accompanied by just enough acidity. While it is fruity, a more mature character is beginning to show. — R.V. (12/31/2012)

Helfrich 2005 Steinklotz Grand Cru Gewurztraminer

Price $25

This wine opens with a sexy, enticing nose of exotic spices but the palate disappoints, with its one-dimensional citrus flavor. Nonetheless, it is light on its feet for a Gewürz, with just medium alcohol and fresh acidity. — W.E. (4/1/2009)

Price $12

Pleasant, with broad appeal, this wine opens with Poire William, mineral and rose notes, followed by Asian spice on the tongue. There’s noticeable sweetness here but a spicy character keeps it from being cloying. Serve with Pad Thai. Drink now. — W.E. (6/1/2010)
