KNEBEL RIESLING HAMM 2015

92 Points - David Schildknecht - Vinous Media: "Fresh lime and Bosc pear tinged with thyme and basil mingle with satisfyingly earthy raw winter squash for a fascinating aromatic and flavor display. Luscious fruitiness, along with a cooling sense of green herbs, is perfectly showcased by the polished, silken-textured palate, leading to a soothingly sustained, persistently juicy but dry finish transparent to stony nuances. Even more so than with this year’s Pinot Blanc, the subtle effects of acacia casks seem to dovetail perfectly with the wine’s native herbal profile and textural refinement."
