Another Great Schmitt

2005 Schmitt Longuicher Maximiner Herrenberg Kabinett, Mosel
$18.99
Shane’s Notes

Sometimes, I wonder why we buy any wine other than German Riesling. German Rieslings are without peer in the under $20 category. A Napa Cab or Bordeaux of equal quality to this Schmitt Kabinett would cost at least double the price. This is our second Schmitt Riesling and they have both been amazing. This Kabinett showed rich flavors of honey, peach, lemon and nutmeg. These flavors were balanced against a very acidic, stony finish. This is a magnificent Kabinett with unusual mid palate richness. It looks like 2005 is a great vintage for Mosel.
