Blue Nun 2002 Eiswein Riesling (Rheinhessen)

  1. $36
This bargain-priced eiswein from a well-known brand fared surprisingly well in our blind tastings, with dense aromas of marmalade and ripe melons and sweet, candied-citrus flavors. A bit big and bulky, but it satisfies the sweet tooth.  — J.C.  (12/15/2004)

Blue Nun 2003 Qualitätswein Riesling (Rheinhessen)

The recent quality improvements at this producer are praiseworthy. There’s a brief whiff of sulfur in this wine, but it gives way to lots of fresh, apple-scented fruit. It’s light to medium in body and much less sweet than it used to be, picking up hints of red berries on the finish.  — J.C.  (11/1/2004)

Blue Nun 2001 QbA Riesling (Pfalz)

  • Best Buy
  1. $7
This ain’t your father’s Blue Nun. This is recognizably a Riesling, boasting modest green apple and pear flavors and a close-to-dry finish. A quantum leap beyond what Blue Nun used to be back in the 1970s and ‘80s.  — J.C.  (8/1/2004)
