Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 91

"A penetrating nose features gooseberry, cassis, apricot and apple, and suggestions of seeds and pits – as well as a nettle-like prickle – lend invigorating crunch and piquancy to the brightly animating, cheek-scouring acidity that emerges on the palate. But even as you feel the impact of the acids, there is a sheer juiciness that keeps them from turning uncomfortably severe. And the penetrating finish here, predictably, delivers a decisive impression of wet stone and displays admirable balance as regards sweetness. This sole “regular” Müller Kabinett of its vintage (there’s also an Alte Reben bottling) has plenty of cellar potential. And it makes up nearly half of this year’s combined Scharzhofberg and Braune Kupp production." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 92

"The 2016 Scharzhofberger Kabinett #2 has a pale color and offers a very clear, fresh and precise nose with lovely spicy aromas. Lush and piquant on the palate, the 2016 reveals a grippy structure and some greenish fruit notes. The acidity is vital and pronounced, the fruit lush and juicy, with this slightly herbal finish that will be very stimulating in a couple of years."

Wine Spectator

WS 92

"This is marked by a prominent saffron note, which leads the way to freshly cut apple, pear and quince aromas and flavors. Slate notes, a fruity core and floral elements are all connected by powerful acidity that creates perfect harmony. The finish goes on and on."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 94

"Musk and earthen complexities of smoke and struck flint meld into sun-kissed yellow cherry and tangerine in this seductive, complex kabinett. It's ethereal and sheer yet boldly penetrating, with a piercing lemon-lime finish. Delicious already but sure to improve through 2022 and hold well beyond."

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
