Von Hövel 2007 Balduin von Hövel Riesling (Mosel)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $17
A terrific value, Von Hövel’s basic Riesling offers consumers a chance to taste the mineral nature of the Saar’s terroir. Notes of slate are almost smoky in their intensity, while the fruit is vibrant and laser-etched in its precision. The apple and lime flavors are delivered aboard a creamy-textured palate, balanced by crisp acids on the off-dry finish.  — J.C.  (10/1/2009)

Von Hövel 2005 Oberemmeler Hütte Spätlese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

  1. $20
Imbued with an almost smoky mineral essence, this wine is moderately sweet, but balanced by crisp acids. Melon and pineapple flavors take over on the palate, but the minerality comes back to the fore on the finish.  — J.C.  (4/1/2008)
