There's a spicy, tangy quality to this white, along with quince and anise. It's all underscored by a mineral element and a vibrant structure, with a fine, lingering aftertaste of stone and anise. Best from 2009 through 2022. 3,000 cases made.??–BS??Region: Germany / Mosel-Saar-Ruwer Select to Add

A terrific value in top-flight Riesling, this kabinett is named for a slate common in the middle Mosel and is sourced from a variety of Loosen’s estate vineyards. Apple, cinnamon and slate notes are wonderfully interwoven in a wine that’s creamy in texture without any accompanying heaviness. Finishes long and vibrant. ——J.C.(10/1/2009)—— 91
