Fresh, fruity and juicy, with sweetness balanced by acidity. Low alcohol and quaffable, perfect for a warm day. Pairs exceptionally well with corned beef and cabbage. Nice find at Costco. 2023 vintage. — 2 months ago

Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Crafted by Joseph J. Wagner, 4th generation winemaker, with winemaking roots in the Napa Valley since 1906. Deep Ruby with red berry fruit aromas, tea and sweet spice notes. On the palate flavors of jammy blackberry and cherry with pronounced sweet vanilla oak, cacao and pepper spice notes. Soft tannins and bright acidity, well balanced, with mineral tones on a long finish ending with toasty spice! Nice! — 3 months ago

2023 Dr. Loosen Erdener Prälat Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel. On the nose honey, and tropical fruit: guava papaya, hint of spice; almost white pepper; tangerine, jasmine. On the palate, good concentration; honey more beautifully ripe mango (almost like a creamy mango lassi), tangerine, very nice apricots; slate minerality; a spine of acidity balances all the ripe fruit. The fruit quality shines here so I don’t feel bad drinking this young. — 4 months ago

Deep Ruby with aromas of rich berry fruits, oak and floral spice notes on this Joe Wagner creation. On the palate flavors of blackberry, plum and cherry with hints of cacao, cedar and leather, adding some herb spice notes. Fine tannins, good acidity, well balanced, ending with fruit and sweet mineral notes. Nice! Grab a Rib-eye! Well done Joe! — 21 days ago

The nose was a bit closed at first but is now opening up with chalk and lovely lemon curd and lemon zest notes as the wine slowly warms up in the glass. There is also a light floral touch too along with some fresh white grape.
This is very inviting. The palate is superb with a superlative acid backbone, some delicious lemon curd and zesty notes all along, some chalky mouthfeel that changes in the rear with a bit of grip, before a long, fresh and tangy finish with lemon curd and that zesty twist that makes you reach for the bottle for a second glass right after the first one. This is unmistakably a German Riesling Kabinett, and a great example at that!
Edit : now that the wine has warmed up in the glass, notes of fresh white peach and roasted pineapple with honey are popping up in the nose. Delicious! — 3 months ago

Impressive for its focus and presentation. Green Apple and grapefruit on the nose and palate. Clean and laser-focused with lychee on the back end. Super summer’s day sipper. Tilting sweet. First time trying this producer. Was not aware that NY was producing wines of this quality. — a month ago
