Clusserath-Weiler 2007 Mehringer Zellerberg Alte Reben Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
-
$42
From 40–70-year-old vines planted on red slate, this is a deeply mineral, almost earthy Riesling, loaded with smoke, diesel and slate aromas and just tinged with apple and citrus. The mouthfeel is slightly creamy, the flavors almost totally dry, the finish finely balanced.

-
$31
The restrained nose shows some white peach notes, lees and stony minerality. This is complex, layered and persistent across the palate, opening up to ample stone fruit flavors, earthy notes, dried herbs and spice. Crisp, with sweetness, moderately concentrated flavors and a rich texture all in balance, if a little loose knit on the finish.
