Natalie's Score: 92/100

Great complexity and layers in this lushly ripe Riesling. Apricots and pears compete for your attention and delight the senses. Medium-bodied and persistent. Perfect for casual get-togethers. The grapes for this organic wine come from the Wehlener Sonnenuhr vineyard, and are hand-picked. Terrific intensity! This wine would be terrific with roast turkey or seafood.

Riesling food pairings: various cheeses, squash soup, pork chops with maple glaze, crab, striped bass.

Reviews and Ratings

Dan Trcka Wine Blogger rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

The Markus Molitor Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinet 2011 has slightly volatile as well as yellow pear notes. It is a medium bodied, sweet, fruit forward wine, with checked acidity and a medium finish that is faintly sulfurous. My impression: NOTHING SPECIAL, 87 pts - wine for this price should deliver much more. Tasted during Riesling & Co. World Tour May/13.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
