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!
