Nahe and Hexamer.

Here is a new arrival downtown and lucky to get a sample....2012 Hexamer Muddersheimer Altenberg Riesling Kabinett. One of my fave Nahe producers. Light yellow color some pear and mineral on the nose. Very tasty, ripe pear and the usual good lengthy finish. Not sure of the price but guess $26?
 
Back in the day, before I knew about Donnhoff or Schafer-Frohlich or ...., I thought Hexamer's wines were great. Then I got myself edumicated. They are good, a bit simple, and they don't tend to age as well as I initially hoped.
 
I vividly remember the awesomeness of the '02 Quarzit and went through nearly as many. I didn't cellar any long term, but I do still have a couple Meddersheimer Rheingrafenberg spatlese with an asterisk or two.
