Roter Veltliner

This was the first wine at the lobster fest, opened and gone well before the lobsters were even cooked.  Hey, the kitchen staff has to have sustenance!

This was also the first time to taste and drink a Roter Veltliner, in this case a 2006 Leth Scheiben Lagenreserve.  Very aromatic with some resemblance to Gruner Veltliner but more of a stone fruit, unripe peach aspect to it. The taste was grassy and fruity.   Good acid, but still somewhat soft.  Finish was a bit short.  The bottom line to me was that it was a coarse version of Gruner and for the same price I'll stick with the better and more available wine.  Still, I would try a couple more Roters because I hate passing judgment based on one bottle.
