2010 Loosen Bros Riesling Dr. L
Dr. L comes exclusively from traditional Mosel vineyards, read steep slopes and slate soils, and serves well as an excellent introduction to the elegant and racy style that is classic Mosel Riesling. Vivid, fresh aromas suggest clean slate and stone fruits like peach and apricot; bright and fresh on the tongue with lively interplay between intensity of delicate ripe fruit and a bright fresh acidity that keeps things bouncing along crisp and clean, ultra-refreshing to the finish. Brilliant value, too!
