Loimer 06 Riesling
$15.99 btl / $182.29 cs
A "wow!" wine, this is a stunning dry
Riesling at an incredible price! This wine tastes like an Alsatian Grand Cru at
a third the price. The Loimer is a dry Riesling with beautiful pear, apple, and
citrus Acacia flower aromas. On the palate, the wine explodes with prodigious
lemon and apple flavors, searingly pure and backed up by great minerality and
acidity. The finish goes on and on definitely not a wimpy wine!

layers of flavor, excellent balance, and a long, fruit-driven finish."
A new vintage of this favorite South African red
blend. Rich, smoky dark fruit aromas. Lots of juicy raspberry, blueberry and
strawberry jam flavors, marked by licorice and mocha notes. Regular: $10

and gentle spice. The palate is opulent and packed with ripe berry flavors. The
texture is dense but smooth providing luxurious mouthfeel with vine, chalky
tannins at the end. An outstanding Syrah." - Wine Orbitz.

really outstanding value in cabernet." 89 points - Steven Tanzer. Reg:
