It's hard not to approach this offer with trepidation.
All of our recent Lauer offers have blown up. And this offering for Lauer's 2014 Kabinett Auction will sell out quickly.
When it comes to Lauer's Auction wines, we take whatever we can get. It's never enough.

Auction bottlings represent some of the greatest wines to come out of Germany. Over the years we've learned that a large gulf separates the auction bottlings from the general releases. Countless times, we've opened auction bottlings from our favorite producers and have been floored.
Lauer's auction selections wow us not for their intensity, but for their fineness and elegance. Instead of trying to turn the volume up for his auction bottlings, like so many do, Lauer seems more interested in stripping everything down to the essential. The result is mesmerizing purity.
The 2014s at Lauer are stunning. They have plenty of snap and tension along with an imposing mineral-laced grip. The 2014 Kabinett Auction boasts a cool high-toned mineral and featherweight, but intense impression. Few, if any wines, hit this level of complexity and impact with such weightlessness.
Lauer has become famous for the energy, transparency and razor cut that he's able to achieve. The 2014 Kabinett Auction distills all of these qualities into something absolutely thrilling.
