The 1999 Riesling Herrenweg de Turckheim has demure spice and herbal tea aromas. This ripe, rich, satin-textured wine is medium-bodied and displays outstanding amplitude. White and red berries are intermingled with quinine, bergamots (the citrus fruit that is used to flavor Earl Grey tea), and spices in this complex, highly-detailed wine. It is intense, youthfully tight, and has the concentration and depth for cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2010. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel. (510) 524-1524
