Riesling Zind-Humbrecht 2006

Wine Spectator rating: 91

November 2008

Right from the beginning, our varietal 2006 Riesling was a very aromatic wine, but since the end of the fermentation it is still opening up and is becoming a hugely flavored wine with a strong minerality. The palate is rich, but not sweet, well balanced with a racy acidity.

A dry white that's well put together, with integrated acidity and a compact structure. A pleasant orange blossom note accents flavors of quince and honey, while the finish shows a hint of minerality. Drink now through 2020 Wine Spectator

"91 pts - Wine SpectatorDate: November 2008 Tasting Bar Price: $2.00/taste Half Off Tuesday Price: $1.00/tasteThis is a Riesling for people who don't think they like Riesling! Dry, but with remarkable heft! Riesling tends toward the sweet, or else it can be rather crisp and minerally. This, although Alsatian, is not as mineral-driven as many other Alsatian Rieslings. It has aromas of honeyed apricot, an unctuous texture, and a well-integrated slate character. Try this with scallops in brown butter, and you'll be in heaven! -Rob's Staff PickA dry white that's read more...well put together, with integrated acidity and a compact structure that mesh nicely. A pleasant orange blossom note accents flavors of quince and honey, while the lingering finish shows a hint of minerality. Drink now through 2020. 1,000 cases made."    (hide)
