95 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2016 Hubacker GG is a superb young wine and really shows the great quality of this terroir. The nascently complex nose soars from the glass in a fine blend of grapefruit, tart orange, ocean breeze, crystalline limestone minerality, a hint of beeswax to come and a topnote of citrus peel. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and racy, with impeccable balance, a lovely core, ripe acids and excellent length and grip on the complex and soil-driven finish. Great juice. 2030-2085. (Jan/Feb 2019)"

95 points James Suckling: "Rich, generous and concentrated as Keller's wines from this site always are. The subtle earthy touch fits beautifully, and this carries the finish every bit as much as the acidity. Drink now. (9/8/17)"

95 points Mosel Fine Wines: "The 2016er Dalsheimer Hubacker GG is still beautifully primary and almost unevolved since bottling. It reveals beautiful nose of freshly cut herbs, grapefruit zest, lime, grilled pineapple and spices. The wine is tight, pure, and superbly focused on the palate. Some yellow fruits emerge in the finish and give a juicy and ripe structure to this racy and primary wine. The after-taste is beautifully saline. This is an outstanding dry Riesling in the making. 2026-2041. (Oct 2018)"

92 points David Schildknecht (Vinous): "Quarry dust, bruised apple skin, zesty fresh lemon and flowering rosemary penetrate the nostrils. Stony, alkaline components on the firm palate are rather hard-edged, but there is a compensatory abundance of bright lemon and apple juiciness as well as a mouthwatering suffusion of mineral salts. The finish is strikingly penetrating and persistent, featuring lemon peel, rosemary, salt and stone. This is a Keller Hubacker of unusual animation and transparency. I’ll be very surprised if it does not significantly outlive its 2015 counterpart, not to mention prove consistently more fun to drink. Drink: 2019-2026. (May 2018)"

92 points Fine Wine Review: "White peach, good purity, liveliness, depth. (9/11/17)"
