2007 Bernkasteler Bratenhöfchen Riesling Spätlese Halbtrocken, Weingut Franz Dahm ($28)
Franz Dahm is an old-world gentleman, making gentlemanly, old-world wines tucked away in the heart of the gorgeous village of Bernkastel. I was so lucky to discover him! His wines are classic Mosel all the way: light, elegant, polished, refined.
“Golden-yellow. Just on the cusp of young fruit and developing minerality, with some Bordeaux-like coconut. Great shoulders lifting this wine above typical Mosel wispiness. Perfect balance. Great sushi wine!”– David Rosengarten
