Jamek’s flagship wine is as fine as ever. There is some botrytis here, but this is not a sweet wine, rather one that shows vibrant fruit, great minerality and structure. It walks a tightrope between superripeness and freshness. With its structure, it should age for 10 years or more.

Perfumed, sweet aromas, but the palate is bone dry. The wine is tight, with a vibrant acidity, citrus, white currants and peach. A steely wine that needs a few years to really blossom.

Poised and elegant, this has deliciously restrained fruit that shows green plum flavors and a layer of pepper. To finish this finely balanced wine, there is a layer of fresh acidity. Needs another 3–4 years to develop and round out.

Fresh, green fruit is topped by a creamy texture. It is apples and cream, with a touch of cinnamon—just like mom used to bake. And at the same time, there is minerality and lively acidity.

This austere style of Riesling accurately reflects the mineral character that comes from the soil of the Ried Klaus vineyard. Lemon zest, white peach and spice flavors combine with a steely streak that suggests this wine will age well. Imported by Michael Skurnik Wines.

This wine manages to balance freshness with rich, concentrated fruit. It is certainly full-bodied, reveling in its ripe kiwi and pear flavors. But it also shows crispness, light acidity and a lively aftertaste.

You can sense the extra ripeness in this wine’s warm aromas of leather and spice. The scents are almost meaty. Dark and warm flavors of Moroccan spices burnish the palate. —J.C.
