Sort By:

Castell 2004 Frenzy Müller-Thurgau Trocken (Franken)

Price $12

One of the better M-T's to come our way, this offering from Castell is virtually dry, with exotic orange-blossom and spice notes that give it plenty of character. It's plump and fleshy, yet still fresh on the finish. — J.C. (7/1/2006)

points

Castell 2009 Trautberg Trocken Silvaner-Traminer (Franken)

Online Exclusive

Price $25

This unusual blend of Silvaner and Traminer shows a distinctly earthy edge to its grapefruit and melon flavors and a pronounced tart tang that balances its ripe plumpness on the palate. Drink now. — J.C. (12/1/2011)

points

Castell 2010 Trocken Silvaner (Franken)

Online Exclusive

Price $18

Quiet on the nose, this wine speaks louder on the palate, where it delivers melon, pear and citrus flavors. It’s balanced and clean, a light, refreshing white to serve as an apéritif or alongside mild fish dishes. — J.C. (12/1/2011)

points

Castell 2008 Kugelspiel Trocken Silvaner (Franken)

Online Exclusive

Price $24

Opens with a candied note, cut through with spice and apricot scents. There’s good intensity and fresh acidity in the mouth and an appealing final note of burnt orange peel. Serve as an apéritif. Drink now. — W.E. (6/1/2010)

points

Castell 2009 Schloss Trocken Silvaner (Franken)

Online Exclusive

Price $24

Flinty and sweaty upfront, with even a hint of onion or garlic. Once past that, things smooth out, with a light to medium weight on the palate and some pleasant melon and citrus notes that linger on the finish. — J.C. (12/1/2011)

points

Castell 2008 Casteller Schlossberg Trocken Silvaner (Franken)

Online Exclusive

This Silvaner shows more aromatic sophistication than most of its brethren; there’s baking spices, white flowers and apples on the nose with a saffron undertone. Crisp and earthy in the mouth, with good palate weight and a short to medium finish of lime peel. Drink up. — W.E. (6/1/2010)

points

Castell 2006 Trocken Silvaner (Franken)

Price $14

Like a mildly spicy Traminer (one of its parent varieties), this Silvaner is medium-bodied, with modest pear and melon fruit and hints of ginger and pepper. Finishes short. — J.C. (11/15/2007)

points

Castell 2007 Reitsteig Spätburgunder (Franken)

Online Exclusive

Price $76

A meaty, mushroomy Pinot Noir, this rather expensive bottling from Franken offers decent complexity but lacks vibrancy. — J.C. (6/1/2011)
