WTN: St. Urbans-Hof Riesling 2005

MSR.

Honey and spicy nose.

Rich and full, sweet, juicy peach, peppery, some honey, with lime and green apple crispness-tartness toward the finish.

A long, mouthwatering, green apple tartness and dryness on the finish.

An impressive young wine, well balanced between sweet and forward fruit, and peppery tartness and good acidity.

Quite impressive.

Good notes there Bruce. Tasted this at an instore tasting but came away with more Gunderloch Riesling Kabs. Will pick one up this week for sure, thanks for the reminder.Is Vintages carrying a whole bunch of German `05s yet Bruce??

edit...Gunderloch Jean Baptiste.

Hi Bruce,

I bought my 2005 St Urbans Hof riesling a few months ago from LCBO. I bought 3 bottles and I only have one left in my cellar. Nice wine and I was impressed too, especially since it was less than $15! That riesling, plus the 2004 Dr. L, and the 2003 Gunderloch Jean Baptiste are my favorites right now. The one I choose is just based on preference/mood of the day because they all 3 are very good.
