Textbook Saar kabinett, still wearing a some youthful leesy accents on the nose, but crisp and pure on the palate. Citrus and green apple aromas broaden ever so slightly into melon and pear flavors in the mouth, then return to crystal clear focus on the finish.

Nearly dry in style, this wine starts off with primary fruit aromas of ripe apples, slightly underripe peaches and a touch of grapefruit, then delivers stonier, more minerally flavors on the palate. Imported by Chapin Cellars, LLC.

The term “feinherb” is only rarely seen on German wine labels, but it indicates a dry-ish version of whatever prädikat is in question, sort of a halbtrocken. This version is nicely balanced, and yes, on the dry side, with apple and melon aromas and flavors that finish dry and minerally. Imported by Chapin Cellars.

Feinherb suggests a style part way between fruchtig and full-blown trocken, and this wine matches the description, finishing almost dry. Slightly minty notes on the nose combine with fla vors of citrus and melon in this lean, crisp Riesling. May be best with seafood dishes.

Despite some nice lime and slate aromas, this wine’s flavors lack minerality, and the result is a plump, easygoing wine, with apple, pineapple and nectarine flavors that finish a bit short. Imported by Chapin Cellars, LLC.
