YEAR’S BEST

Steininger - 2006 Kamptal Novemberlese Zweigelt - 91 pts
This is delicious and impressively concentrated, its flavors of black rasberry underlined by stony minerality. It feels seamless and silky, the richness beautifully supported by ripe, supple tannins.

Anton Bauer - 2006 Donauland Rosenberg Gruner Veltliner - 90 pts
Cool flavors of lime, guava and white peach are accented by notes of white pepper and stone, feeling delicate and subtle on the palate and persisting with elegant length.

Steindorfer - 2004 Burgenland Eiswein Cuvee Klaus - 90 pts
Sweet flavors of apricot, clear honey and ripe peach are luscious and velvety, cut by fresh acidity. It’s forward and inviting, with a persistent fragrance.
