Sage, mint, and juicy honeydew melon inform the Messmer 2006 Muskateller Kabinett feinherb, a wine whose 17 grams of residual sugar are barely discernable. Without the pungency or overt citricity more common with this variety, it offers a softer than usual, simple but distinctive, highly satisfying, and versatile wine for enjoying over the next 3-5 years.Following a highly successful collection in 2005, the Messmers struggled like so many of their neighbors with conditions in 2006. They added pickers and managed to bring in the crop in only two weeks.Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel (516) 677-9300
