2001 Riesling Kabinett

The 2001 explodes from the glass with great aromatic richness. Meaty stones, minerals, melon, flowers, and sweet citrus fruits can be found in its scents. A wine of enormous depth, its lavish personality coats the taster's palate with spiced earth, minerals, and juicy white fruits. Tangy limes appear in this offering's admirable finish. While Robert Weil wines are some of the most expensive produced on earth, director and winemaker Wilhelm Weil's outstanding 2001 Riesling Kabinett remains an excellent value, one that consumers should hunt down. Drink it over the next 5-7 years. Importer: A Rudi Wiest Selection, Cellar International, Inc., Carlsbad, CA; tel. (760) 753-4244
