Gustave Lorentz 2004 Altenberg de Bergheim Grand Cru Riesling
- $40
Complexing notes of botrytis are interspersed with an unusual pine aroma. The palate is bit simple but gives way to a very long finish with focused flavors of petrol and lemon.

Gustave Lorentz 2005 Altenberg de Bergheim Grand Cru Pinot Gris
- $50
Sweet, rich wine, powerful ripe pear and melon flavors spiced with ginger and an opulent full texture. The wine lets its perfumed character get away with itself, but it’s exuberant for a moment.

Gustave Lorentz 2009 Burg Riesling
- $30
A rich wine that’s full of ripe creamed-pear and apricot flavors, this has an open feel that contrasts with tangy, mineral acidity.

Gustave Lorentz 2005 Pinot Gris Reserve
- Online Exclusive
The simplest, most approachable of the range of seven Pinot Gris from Lorentz, this Reserve is light, fresh, dry, with a touch of spice and smokiness. There’s good acidity as well as a core of more weighty ripe pear flavors.

Gustave Lorentz 2009 Reserve Riesling
- $24
Surprisingly soft for a Riesling, which gives the wine an easy attractiveness. Lively, fresh acidity and green apple and melon flavors follow through to the end, perhaps softened by a sense of the wine being off-dry.

Gustave Lorentz 2010 Reserve Pinot Gris

Soft and attractively spicy, this has flavors of fresh apple, exotic mango and kiwi. Along with this fruitiness is a perfumed character that rounds out the finish. Screwcap.
