The 2007 Diel de Diel – as usual, a blend of Pinots with a bit of Riesling – offers fresh cherry and almond scents and flavors tinctured with herbs and salt, proving quite simply delicious for short-term enjoyment. With the 2007 vintage – one Armin Diel compares with his superbly successful 2004s – daughter Caroline Diel has joined Christoph Friedrich in guiding vineyard and cellar operations here. (The 2008 vintage sees her in the estate’s leading role.) Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300
