Jan Eymael has crafted yet another satisfying entry-level 2007 Riesling dry generous in its aromas and flavors of peaches, musk, orange zest, and smoked meats. With a sense of breadth and stuffing one would not find in Riesling from further north in Germany, as well as a chalky underlying character that is frequently associated with Ungstein’s soils, I would plan to enjoy this over the next 12-18 months.Imported by Rudi Wiest, Cellars International, Carlsbad, CA; tel. 800-596-9463

This wine shows tremendous minerality for a wine from a mix of parcels. Almost smoky, saline mineral aromas combine with crisp, citrusy fruit to typify the Pfalz dry Riesling style. Picks up hints of orange and clove on the finish, with a suggestion of citrus pith.——J.C.(6/1/2009)—— 89
