A faintly reduced as well as - in its sage and citrus oil notes - Muscat-like aroma in the Dirler's generic 2007 Riesling leads to a saline, lime-fruited, pungently herbal and zest palate impression and brisk, refreshing finish. It might be more expressive by the time you read this and should keep nicely for at least 2-3 more years. Jean-Pierre Dirler was another of those growers to express delight at the 2007 vintage with its wide window of harvest opportunities, but to have sold off or declassified much of his family's production in 2006. It bears repeating that this estate's international profile is not nearly as high as is the quality of wine that have issued from it routinely since at least the mid-1980s, when I first visited here. I did not, unfortunately, have chance to taste quite the entire 2007 Dirler-Cade collection, and canvassed only a small selection of their in any event diminished number of 2006s.Importer: Robert Chadderdon Selections, New York, NY; tel.

The vintage's Kitterle and Saering crops were among the lots blended into Dirler's generic 2006 Riesling. (There were dedicated 2006 bottlings from Belzbrunnen, Bollenberg, and Spiegel, but I did not have opportunity to taste them.) Strikingly alkaline and saline even in the nose, this is polished and subtle, with ripe peach fruit transparent to finish nuances of mineral, herbal, floral, and nut oil nuances. Enjoy its at once soothing and stimulating personality over the next couple of years. Yes, I think it's better than the 2007 - but just consider the fruit sources!

The 2000 Riesling displays mineral and flower scents as well as an easygoing, light-bodied personality. This focused, lemon and gravel-flavored wine should be drunk over the next 3-4 years. Importer: Robert Chadderdon Selections, New York, NY; tel. (212) 757-8185
