Riesling from Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Germany: S.A. Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett Riesling 2007


Color: Bright gold

Aroma: Fresh and pleasantly fruity

Taste: Flavors of lemon and peach against a mineral backdrop

Well-matched with salads, seafood and light veal dishes

Alcohol: 8.5%

Four 2007 kabinetts from the Sonnenuhr vineyard in one flight, and all scored 90 points or better, including this beauty, which features white peaches, honeysuckle and a squirt of lime to go along with pear and vanilla notes. It’s round and lush yet balanced, if somewhat on the rich, sweet side.
