94 points James Suckling: "This has so much precision and drive with flint, green pears, lime zest and rocks on the nose. Tight, tangy and zesty, with a medium body and a mineral, dry and linear palate. Long and focused. Drink or hold" (10/2022) 94 points Vinous: "Super pale in color. The 2021 Riesling Cirrus High Eden Valley Single Vineyard shows exceptional purity and focus, although it remains tightly wrapped in a core of firm acidity. Lime peels, lemon pith and bath salt aromas with touches of tonic water to start. Fine yet tense with flavors tight...

93 points Decanter: "Like all great Alsace Rieslings, this has the acidity to guarantee it a long life ahead, but it's delicious now nonetheless. Schlumberger is a famous name – and the largest estate – in the Alsace region, with 140ha planted, half on grand cru sites like this one. The beauty of this wine lies in the contrast between the fleshy, forward peach and lemon citrus fruit and the backbone that comes from racy acidity and a seam of minerality. There's only 2g/L residual sugar, so no perceptible sweetness. Just delicious dry Riesling with great ...
96 points James Suckling: " A stunningly elegant and vibrant riesling Kabinett that is packed with white peach and honeysuckle aromas. Succulent on the front of the light-bodied palate, then with a crystalline purity at the finish that takes your breath away. This is not analytically dry, but plenty of enthusiastic wine drinkers will say that is exactly what it is. Drink or hold. Screw cap." (08/2024) 94 points Vinous: "The 2023 Riesling Oberhäuser Leistenberg Kabinett is from a south-east-facing site of shale, getting the morning sun; this is never af...

95 points Wine Advocate: "The 2022 Ried Heiligenstein 1ÖTW Riesling shows an aromatic, slightly reductive bouquet of ripe, yellow stone fruit combined with fine spice. Dense and complex on the palate, this is an expressive, penetrating and persistently structured Heiligenstein of great intensity and complexity. It has a long-lasting, salty and spicy finish with stimulating grip.

97 points James Suckling: "This youthful Mosel riesling has an extraordinary depth of fresh apricot character on the very concentrated, medium-bodied palate. Restrained succulence in the Spatlese context, but there’s nothing restrained about the wine’s mineral energy and the drive in the extremely long finish. And if you pay close attention, you will find a wealth of mineral, herbal and spicy nuances. Reminds me of the great 1990 vintage of this wine. Drinkable now, but best from 2026."

93 points James Suckling: "This smells like a freshly prepared fruit salad, with some exotic-fruit notes alongside the citrus and stone fruit. On the medium-bodied palate there’s nothing superficial about this dry riesling, rather it shows excellent structure and wonderful texture. A touch of fine tannin neatly underlines the long, refined finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap." (03/2023) 91 points Vinous: "The 2022 Riesling Kiedricher is from two upper parcels in the of the Wasseros, above the Gräfenberg, which means rivulet, evident in small springs, fed ...

96 points Wine Advocate: "From vines almost 50 years old in the parcels Falkenberg and Lay and picked at 105° Oechsle in the same go, like the Grosses Gewächs, at the end of October, the 2022 Brauneberger Juffer-Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese offers a delicate and juicy-savory nose of ripe stone fruits, pink grapefruits, lemons and finely broken slate. Lush and delicate on the palate, with crystalline and saline acidity, this is a mouth-watering and juicy, wonderfully intense and aromatic Auslese from the JSU. It is gorgeous, but you should age it in you cel...

95 points Vinous: "The 2022 Riesling Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr Spätlese opens with an airy, stony aspect, followed by lime and peach in a tart-sweet double-act that is totally mouth-watering. The distinctly sweet palate is enticingly edged with that lime acidity. The palate remains slender, taut, absolutely streamlined and very fine. Concentrated, citric, heightened, thrilling. (Sweet) (AK)" (10/2023) 94 points James Suckling: "This has the floral and vanilla bean aromas we associate with this great site for riesling Spatlese wines. Wonderfully vib...

96 points Wine Advocate: "The 2023 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett opens with substantial depth and a brilliant bouquet of wet slate. The fruit is intense but not dominating, thanks to the flintiness and savoriness of the Himmelreich terroir. On the palate, this is a mouth-filling, dense and complex Kabinett with ripe, elegant and juicy fruit intertwined with very fine phenols and an ethereal slate thread that gives this Kabinett an enormous length and animation. This will be a superb gastronomic wine after a decade of bottle age, although the 202...

94 points James Suckling: "Very cool and subtle peachy nose. Impressive ripeness and concentration for the challenging vintage, tons of wet stone minerality and lemon zest freshness drive the very long and precise finish. From vine planted in 1896. Vegan. Drink or hold." (09/2022) 93 points John Gilman: "The old vine bottling of Herrenberg “1896”, made from vines planted all the way back in 1896, was one of the first bottlings I had the pleasure to taste from Christopher. The family only bought this parcel of vines in the Maximin Herrenberg vineyard in...

96 points James Suckling: "This very succulent Mosel Auslese is all about overripe stone fruit and has almost none of the floral honey character that comes from botryrtis. Then comes the dazzling brilliance and finesse of the long, wet-stone finish. Drink from release." (09/2024) K&L Notes: 95pts Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2023er Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Auslese was made from partially (15-20%) botrytized grapes harvested at 98° Oechsle and was fermented down to noble-sweet levels of residual sugar (110 g/l). The wine offers a beautiful nose made of r...

93 points James Suckling: " A generous dry riesling that is still a bit reserved at almost 4 years of age. On the palate it shows more, having the richness typical for the exceptionally warm vintage (think Asian pear and candied orange peel), but this is so well proportioned that it doesn't feel even slightly too much. Very long, elegant, dry finish with plenty of chalky minerality. Drinkable now, but best from 2024." (06/2022)
Price: $37.99
96 points James Suckling: "The unbelievable lightness of being. So elegant and filigreed on the barely medium-bodied palate, with an almost steely acidity that gives this a wonderful brilliance at the very long finish. Less upfront succulence than normal for the Mosel Spatlese category, but that makes it feel lighter and even more animating. Excellent aging potential. Drink or hold." (09/2024) K&L Notes: 94pts Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2023er Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spätlese was made from 15% botrytized fruit picked at 89° Oechsle on over 90-year-old vines and...

97 points James Halliday: "Organically certified, this address has loosened up a conventional strut of austerity, to a swagger of confidence, textural detail and poise. This new stance is embellished with optimally ripe fruit evincing care, love for the land and authority. From white clay, this is a rich and spicy riesling, reminiscent of great Germanic expressions over the sour Aussie norm. A forcefield of palate-staining intensity. Vinous. Extracted righteously. Honest to place and what that brings, be the alcohol a bit higher. This is juicy, powerful ...

94 points Wine Enthusiast: "Wild fermented with minimal winemaking intervention, this is remarkably clean and downright delicious. Bright, delicate aromas of lemon-lime, apple skin and lavender talcum powder lead to a crisp, refreshing palate that pops with vibrant citrus and nervy acidity, with textural intrigue and a superlong finish to boot. *Editors’ Choice*"

95 points James Suckling: "I love the extrovert, almost extravagant fruit aromas (white, yellow and exotic) of this sensational Mosel Kabinett. Somehow it remains light-bodied and filigreed in spite of all this, and that combination is what makes it such a standout. Fantastic balance, the natural grape sweetness already beautifully integrated. Almost dry finish. Drink or hold." (09/2024) K&L Notes: 92+pts Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2023er Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett was made from fruit picked at 80° Oechsle on 50-year-old vines and was fermented ...

93 points James Suckling: "This Mosel Kabinett is very sleek and racy, with striking aromas of lime zest and cassis, Light-bodied with acidity that feels as if sparks are jumping around inside your mouth, pushing the touch of grape sweetness way into the background. I love this originality, but some may find it a bit challenging. From a unique site with quartzitic soil. Drink or hold."

The spot-on balance of fruit, moderate alcohol and lively acidity makes you want to dance for joy! Wide spectrum of stone and citrus fruits. Then comes the very long and elegant finish that pulls you back for more. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drink or hold." (07/2023) 91 points Vinous: "The 2022 Riesling Kreuznacher Kahlenberg is further downstream and closer to the Rhine Valley, so this flowers and ripens earlier ...
Price: $39.99
94 points James Suckling: "A stunning village wine with all the positives that we associate with dry Pfalz riesling from the generosity to the delicate spiciness. Stacks of bergamot and oolong tea character, but finely-etched rather than of the flag-waving variety. The long structured finish suggests this has very good aging potential. A 50/50 cuvee from Pechstein and Jesuitengarten GG sites, in each case nine-year-old vines. From biodynamically grown grapes. ‘Old school’ vinification that was wild fermented in large neutral oak casks. Vegan. Drink or ho...

94 points James Suckling: "Iron in the soul, but also generous quince fruit and really silky acidity that make this a very impressive, light- to medium-bodied dry Mosel. Everything fits so neatly together, and for just 11.5% alcohol this has excellent depth and fantastic harmony. Drink or hold. Screw cap." (09/2024) K&L Notes: 93pts Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2023er Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett Trocken is a bone-dry wine (with 2 g/l of residual sugar) made from fruit picked at 81° Oechsle on 40-year-old vines.

Leaps and bounds over your palate, the acidity very crisp, but delightfully so thanks to the wonderful juiciness. Long and sleek finish with a hint of rhubarb. Drink or hold. Screw cap." (08/2023) 90 points Decanter: "This entry-level bottling carries the official VDP classification of ‘Gutswein’, produced with fruit harvested from the estate’s Abtsberg, Herrenberg and Bruderberg vineyards. This is sort of a beginners' guide to Grünhaus, made ...

Quite some structure, although it is barely medium-bodied. Wonderful stony intensity at the very long, bright finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap." (08/2024) 90 points Vinous: "The 2023 Riesling Tonschiefer was picked mainly in the Oberhäuser Leistenberg (80%) and a neighboring site, both on Tonschiefer or shale, plus younger vines from the Klamm and the Hermannshöhle.

96 points James Suckling: "Welcome to the mountain meadows with all the wildflowers, fresh grass and herbs. There’s also a touch of floral honey on the very elegant, barely medium-bodied, off-dry palate. Super-long, racy finish with almost supernatural energy. Drinkable now, but best from 2026."

(08/2024) 94 points Vinous: "The 2023 Riesling Niederhäuser Klamm Kabinett, from porphyry facing southeast, has a slightly darker aspect on the nose.

Bernkastel and Urzig get all the fanfare, even though once you round the river bend, into Erden’s red-slate soils, you’ll find some of the region’s top wines. The Loosens make a wine here that is both nostalgic and novel. The nose of the wine transports me to my ’00s childhood of yellow Sour Patch Kids, then takes me to the present in its scents of thyme, ginger, and fresh flowers, all within a poised and powerful palate."

Some aeration in the glass teases a lot more crisp pear and yellow-apple aromas out of the wine and expands the mid-palate creaminess. Excellent structure and juiciness on the sleek and precise, medium-bodied palate. Complex wet-stone minerality at the self-confidently dry and crisp finish.

95 points Wine & Spirits: "Most vineyards have a structure of topsoil, subsoil and bedrock. Due to its age and steepness, the Wehlener Sonnenuhr does not have any topsoil. The vines grow in the shimmer of shiny, weathered, blue Devonian slate. The soil has exceptional drainage and forces vines to dig deep, where they find sustenance for their fruit to make a nearly perfect wine for the Loosen family. This concentrated Spätlese hits the confluence of citrus pulp, tarragon and the kind of vibrant acidity that will set your tongue in motion. This is a wine ...
