2008 Dr. Loosen - Dr. L Riesling


OK, first Riesling of the week is from Dr. Loosen which is a great producer from the Mosel Valley. This wine is their entry level Riesling and is named Dr. L.

The color is a light straw yellow and had aromas of peaches, apricots and marzipan.

The taste of the wine was very pleasing and had peaches, apricots and marzipan flavors, but also a little honey. I am not sure of the residual sugar on this wine, but the profile was slightly sweet.

If you are opposed to any sweetness in your wine then this may not be for you, but the quality of the product is very good.

The wine was a gift from my friend Lee, but I believe retail is in the $11-13 range.
