Poller’s 2006 Gruner Veltliner Phelling is scented with sweet pea, lavender, and a hint of pepper. Juicy melon and lime laced with herbs and legumes on the palate offer outstanding generosity for the price, leading to a lip-smacking, infectiously juicy finish that irresistibly invites the next sip. Enjoy this superb value anytime over the next 2-3 years. Among countless small family estates in a plethora of wine villages along the Czech border, that of ambitious Erwin Poller stands out for both quality and value. His liter bottling of Gruner Veltliner represented a truly amazing value in both the 2005 and 2006 vintages, but I did not have chance to sample the 2007. I did however sample almost the entire rest of Poller’s impressive 2007 collection (with him absent).Importer Bill Mayer Age of Riesling Selections, imported by Valley View Wine Sales, Glen Ellen, CA; tel (510) 549 2444
