Expert Reviews

92 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2009

($14) Medium green-yellow. Aromas of ripe Golden Delicious apple, green mango, lemon verbena and oleander. Full-bodied but not at all lacking in mineral and acid structure. Delicate apricot and apple elements mingle with abundant mineral notes reminiscent of fresh rain on wet rock. This well-balanced wine displays attractive varietal character, and though it already offers superb drinking pleasure it should age gracefully through 2020.

Gruner Veltliner

Finding Gruner Veltliner, a wine known for its spicy minerality and firm acidity, used to be a real challenge in the United States. But even though Austrians still keep the bulk of the wine that they produce for themselves, Gruner Veltliner, the most distinctive and widely grown grape in Austria, is rapidly gaining popularity elsewhere thanks to its food-friendliness and...
