This is unusually open and flamboyant for Riesling, with tropical fruit notes that call to mind pineapple and coconut, but also hint at honey, stone fruit and crushed stone. It’s full in the mouth and lushly textured, with a long, fruity finish.

Deeply smoky, as if enrobed in a layer of campfire ash, this curiously aromatic Riesling pairs a dark, minerally element with notes of sweet, ripe melon and stone fruit. Dry and full bodied, with an herbaceous, fresh midpalate.

A largely unfruity wine, defined by mineral notes of struck flint and crushed stone. Yet at the same time, it’s ripe in weight and mouthcoating in its intensity, hinting at orange oil on the long finish.

Here’s a racy Riesling that won’t break your budget. Has everything you look for: pretty apple, peach, and honey aromas, with a distinct trace of sun-warmed slate, and long, rich, fruity, flowery flavors. Just a bit off-dry, it’s balanced with crisp acidity.

An intriguing wine that lacks fruit in the traditional sense, yet possesses ample weight and a brooding, mineral presence that comes across as wet stone and machine oil. Those elements linger on the finish.

For a 2008, this seems to be developing rather quickly, showing toasty notes that emerge on the nose, expand on the palate and jump out on the finish, largely overshadowing the admirable citrus and crushed-stone elements. Drink now.

This medium-bodied Riesling displays the peachy ripeness of the Rhine regions, allied to hints of melon, stuck flint and wet stone. Turns just a bit tart and lean on the finish.
