2006 Weingart Schloss Furstenberg Riesling Kabinett, $20

A fairly subdued nose at this stage, gives away to intensity from beginning to end. This is a wine that can stand as a course on its own. Stoney peach, subtle almond and sloe berries come through first as well as floral notes in the background. These elements seem to dance together with a refreshing effervescent quality. The Furstenberg is always an interesting dichotomy of delicate and intense. Pair this with a baked light-meat, roasted veggies and a nice, warm winter chutney—prepare to raise an eyebrow!
