Riesling Wine Tasting Notes
1998 Chateau St. Jean
Sonoma County Johannisberg Riesling
Score: 89.0
"Antithetical to German Riesling, this is nonetheless an aromatic, complex wine. Unlike the lighter, more delicate German Rieslings, this California version is full-bodied with a pleasant bitterness that balances the sweetness of the red apple and orange peel fruit."

Hogue
Columbia Valley Washington Johannisberg Riesling
Score: 87.0
"Crisp and spritzy apple, off dry, intense, sinfully quaffable-one sip leads to another. Very close to a Rheingau kabinett and a bargain at the price. Great as an aperitif, it would also be excellent with Mexican cuisine or fish."
|
1998 Graff
Piesporter Michelsberg [Germany] Riesling
Score: 83.0
"Subdued steely nose, dry on the palate, light and hinting at fruit, not delivering until the finish. Pair with dover sole sauteed in lemon butter sauce, or talapia."
|
1997 Wormser
Liebfrauenstift Kirchenstuck Rheinhessen [Germany] Riesling
Score: 87.0
"just moderately sweet, this wine has a floral nose and honey flavors, crisp acidity and tart finish."
|
1998 Baron von Heyl Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim
Nierstein [Germany] [riesling?]
Score: 85.0
"Virtually dry, subtle forest floor aromas, tart and citrusy on the palate. Good length. Good value. Pair with fish. "
|
1998 Weingut Johannishof
Johannisberger Vogelsang [Germany] Riesling Kabinett
Score: 89.0
"Quite a fine wine for $13. Clear mineral and apple character with subtle shades of honey and apricot; crisp acidity, long clean, minerally finish. Great with fish or bratwurst."
|
1998 Graff
Wehlener Sonnenurh [Germany] Riesling Spatlese
Score: 87.0
"Restrained and almost too subtle, yet finely structured, lightly sweet and tangy. Its like a liquid pippin apple. Sculptured, proportioned, easy to drink, both as an aperitif and with stir-fried vegetables and chicken, sweet-and-sour pork and other Asian dishes."
|
1998 Schloss Vollrads
Rheingau [Germany] Riesling Kabinett
Score: 89.0
"Incredibly floral, multi-faceted fruit (lychee, strawberry, apricot). Sweet, but balanced by good acidity and a pleasant bitterness, and revealing more and more through an incredibly long, luxurious finish. Amazing for the price. Pair with pound cake."
