94 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The regular Sonnenlay Kabinett is pure beauty in 2017. The wine is 8.5 percent alcohol, carries 9.5 grams per liter of acidity and is buffered with forty-five grams per liter of residual sugar. The overall harmony and delicacy of this bottling are very impressive, with the nose jumping from the glass in a superb blend of green apple, lemon, sea salts, wild yeasts, a beautiful base of slate and a topnote of spring flowers. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied, focused and filigreed, with a lovey core of fruit, great mineral drive, bright, vibrant acids and great bounce and complexity on the perfectly balanced finish. A stunning and utterly classic young Kabinett. 2018-2050. (May/Jun 2018)"
91 points Stephan Reinhardt (Wine Advocate): "The 2017 Wolfer Sonnenlay Riesling Kabinett is provided with ripe and concentrated fruit and opens to a pure, slatey and floral nose. The palate is rich, intense, fleshy, very aromatic, elegant and salty-piquant, and the well-structured finish balances the sweetness of 54 grams perfectly. This is a charming, reductive-styled Mosel Kabinett classic that should be served in 10 years. Tasted in March 2019. Drink: 2030-2045. (Jun 2019)"
91 points Stuart Pigott (JamesSuckling.com): "Juicy and racy with a vibrant interplay of cool fruit such as apples and cassis. Very crisp acidity. A sleek, energetic and lemony finish. Drink or hold. (6/19/18)"
91 points Mosel Fine Wines: "This very discreet and elegant 2017er Wolfer Sonnenlay Kabinett only gradually offers notes of canned yellow peach, rose water, almond cream, candied grapefruit, pear, smoke and a touch of cassis. The wine is superbly airy and delicate on the palate, where some juicy yellow fruits are superbly balanced out by a hint of honey. The acidity is already well integrated and helps this Spätlese-bodied wine to gain in finesse and freshness in the long and juicy finish. 2025-2037 (Jun 2018)"
