For us, Scharzhofberger Kabinett is one of our favorite wines anywhere.
 |
Scharzhofberger Kabinetts, in any vintage, thrive on a steely finesse that's full of cut and mineral-drenched length that boasts the wine's nobility.
With that said, we're especially excited about the 2020 Kabinett. The wines that we've tasted from the Mosel and the Saar show an amazing interplay of density and steely verve. They combine a tactile mineral presence with cool-toned fruits and a beautiful freshness.
Müller's Kabinett has a magical ability to combine intensity and a seemingly miraculous weightlessness. Expect the 2020 to be an especially thrilling example of this remarkable signature.
It's hard not to be in awe of Egon Müller. From his Scharzhofberg vineyard, Müller crafts the most consistently great Rieslings on the planet. There is no doubt the 2020 will join a select group of utterly remarkable Müller Kabinetts.

Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2020er Scharzhofberger Riesling Kabinett was fermented down to barely fruity-styled levels of residual sugar. It offers a superbly refined and delicately herbal and zesty nose of white mint, vineyard peach, whipped almond cream, tangerine, orange blossom, and some fresher (green) elements. The wine starts off on the juicy and almost smooth side but progressively develops more cut as zesty and spicy elements join the party on the palate. The wine develops all the classic hallmarks of a Kabinett with energy and finesse and finesse in the finish and leaves one with a superbly focused and spicy feel in the off-dry aftertaste. This is quite a beauty!"
