Many Austrian producers have a wine they call Terrassen—a blend of different, sometimes lesser, vineyards. Somehow, Brundlmayer’s sets a standard that’s hard to beat. It epitomizes the crisp character of 2008, but adds in concentration, white fruits, spice and a delicious fresh, apple skin texture. Imported by Michael Skurnik Wines. ——R.V.(10/1/2009)—— 89
