Deinhard 2002 Piesporter QbA Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

Best Buy

Price $9

Snappy and fresh, this is a large-production German Riesling that manages to rise above mediocrity. You’ll find green apple and lime flavors, while a touch of red berries make an interesting counterpoint. Firm acidity on the finish makes the wine seem almost dry, despite some residual sugar. — J.C.

Deinhard NV Lila Riesling Brut Sekt Sparkling

Best Buy

Price $11

Green apples and limes mark the nose, while the palate shows its Riesling roots in hints of diesel; fresh fruit flavors just peek through. The mouthfeel is slightly creamy, while the wine's finish is crisp and fresh. — J.C. (12/31/2004)

Deinhard 2004 Piesporter QbA Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

Best Buy

Price $8

Founded in 1794, Deinhard is an old merchant house—what the French would call a négociant—that markets a wide array of wines. The company’s 1808 price list offered 89 different Rhine and Mosel wines, but that’s been at least somewhat shortened in recent years. No, it’s not that intense, nor does it show a lot of minerality, but this wine ably shows off Mosel… — J.C. (5/1/2006)

Deinhard 2003 Piesporter Qualitätswein Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

Best Buy

Price $9

Classic lime, slate and green apple aromas and flavors signal this budget-priced offering’s origin. It’s light and delicate, just as it should be; the only knock on this wine is its soft, short finish. Still, it’s a fine example of how good some of the lower-priced wines can be in 2003. — J.C.

Deinhard 2002 Green Label QbA Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

Best Buy

Price $6

This crisp lightweight is a perfect patio sipper for this summer—tart, mouthwatering and refreshing. Green apple and grapefruit flavors finish short, but look at the price. — J.C. (8/1/2004)

points

Deinhard 2003 Classic Riesling (Rheinhessen)

Best Buy

Price $8

Fresh and slightly gingery on the nose, but dominated by lemons and limes. Simple citrus and earth flavors are light, tart and refreshing. — J.C. (11/1/2004)

points

Deinhard 2003 Classic Pinot Blanc (Pfalz)

Best Buy

Price $8

Although this doesn’t exhibit the orange and tangerine notes often characteristic of Pinot Blanc, it is a lightweight, refreshing wine. Starts off with scents of earth and clay, then shows flavors of green apples and underripe melons before finishing with some zesty grapefruit. Probably best as an apéritif. — J.C. (11/1/2004)

points

Deinhard NV Cabinet Traditions-Cuvee Sekt Trocken Sparkling

Best Buy

Price $8

Fruity and berryish on the nose, with an exuberant, almost aggressive mouthfeel. There's a hint of toast as well, plus some fruity flavors that make this a decent party pour. — J.C. (12/31/2004)
