St. Urbans-Hof Riesling Mosel Kabinett Ockfener Bockstein 2009

St. Urban-Hof Riesling Kabinett Ockfener Bockstein 2009 (WS 92 pts., $29.99, SKU 310524)

This was labeled as “Smart Buy” by Wine Spectator and was No. 57 of their Top 100 wines in 2010. I learned that there are different ways to make Riesling and Kabinett is one way. The wine had all kinds of fruits on the palate and the body was medium. It was a great opening wine and went well with some Chinese food.

If you don’t want to pay so much, the St. Urban-Hof Riesling Mosel would be a good second choice. I have not tasted that wine but it is not as sweet as the Kabinett. It is rated 90 points by WS and costs $19.99, SKU 597997.
