Leo 2007 X-treme Riesling (Pfalz)
- $22
Pretty standard dry Riesling but done well, marrying bold fruit aromas of apple, pear and melon with undercurrents of spice and minerality. It’s medium-bodied, harmonious and shows excellent persistence on the finish.

Leo 2007 Legere White (Pfalz)
- $17
This blend of four grape varieties is on the dry side, with melon and citrus aromas and flavors. Riesling adds a slight petrol element, while the wine finishes with citrus, spice, verve and length.

Leo 2006 Pinot Noir (Pfalz)
- $22
Why shouldn’t Pfalz producers cash in on the Pinot Noir craze? This is a commendable version, offering earthy, herbal aromas and a base of black cherry fruit. It’s plump and nicely rounded, with a soft, mushroomy finish.

Leo 2006 Legere Red (Pfalz)
- $17
In how many places in the world would you find an innovative blend of Merlot (60%) and Pinot Noir (40%)? This is a soft, supple wine that reflects those structural aspects of the grapes, adding black cherry and plum flavors and a layer of oaky spice.

Leo 2005 X-treme Prestive Cuvée Red (Pfalz)
- $42
Extreme reflects a level of oaking that may prove controversial. Raw cedary notes mark the nose, while some dark fruit sneaks through on the palate, reflecting the blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. More wood shows up again on the finish, partially balanced by tart berries.
