This slate selection from Kendermanns is a pleasant surprise, speaking of its origins in the smoky, wet slate aromas and stony flavors couched in layers of white peach, melon and hints of honey. Despite a considerable 12.5% alcohol, it seems light and fresh, ending on notes of citrus and melon. Imported by Reh Kendermann GmbH Weinkellerei. ——J.C.(5/1/2006)—— 88
