Donnhoff’s 2006 Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Beerenauslese replicates the sort of amazing layering of flavors for which this site is famous

While this classy and stylish effort should reward at least a decade of bottle age it should also be approachable after only 6 to 8

Very concentrated flavors of blueberry and oak

Refined and delicious

Cordella, Brunello Montalcino Vintage:2015 Donnhoff’s 2006 Niederhauser Hermannshohle RieslingMade with certified organic fruit, the Cordella 2015 Brunello di Montalcino shows a note of scorched earth or burnt ember that I recognize from some of the other Brunelli from this warm and sunny 2015 vintage. The wine is not overripe per se, but the warm conditions of the vintage have instead endorsed toasted or charcoal like aromas. Those smoky tones are backed by dark fruit, cherry confit and blackberry preserves. Try out some barbecued beef ribs
