Although Stefan Rumpf and his son Johannes have long been extremely reliable, I have often been critical of this estate, not because the wines were not good, but because I thought the family could be doing better. They surprise in difficult vintages, but seldom shine in great ones. That said, 2008 appears to mark a turn for the better. Seldom has the whole collection been so consistent. The dry rieslings are dense but surprisingly animated, the two spatleses deliciously crisp. and the Pinot Noir "R" one of the best this estate has ever made.
