90 POINTS!!!
The minerally, bright structure is buffered by a ripe, fleshy texture in this white, which has a savory aspect to it, with flecks of orange notes on the long finish. Drink now through 2026. 500 cases made. –BS THE WINE SPECTATOR
91 POINTS!!!
An exotic style, with apricot, papaya and passion fruit flavors. Concentrated, but a touch more acidity would add precision and length on the finish. Drink now through 2015. - B.S. THE WINE SPECTATOR
Soft and open, with peach, nectarine and lime flavors married to an elegant frame. Just a tad diffuse, lacking the snap to etch the flavors more vividly. Drink now through 2025.
93 POINTS!!!
Floral, peach, lime and herb aromas and flavors really sing in this elegant, silky Riesling. Beautifully integrated with the bright structure, showing intensity and length in a seamless, effortless manner. Mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2035. –BS THE WINE SPECTATOR
Passion fruit and orange flavors highlight this elegant, bright Riesling. Well-balanced, with an intense core of fruit, picking up a chalky sensation on the finish. Drink now through 2015. 231 cases imported. –BS THE WINE SPECTATOR
91 POINTS!!!
Very ripe, yet there's nice cohesion between the spicy, guava and papaya notes and lime-tinged acidity. Very exotic, with a creamy texture. Fine length. Drink now through 2030. 19 cases imported. –BS THE WINE SPECTATOR
The initial cool minerality of the 2006 Muller-Catoir Haardter Herrenletter Riesling Spätlese is deceptive. This wine is complex, transforming to high-pitched flavors of blackberry, malt, tarragon and white peach on its vibrant, slightly sweet palate.
