Würzgarten translates as “spice garden,” and this example displays the powdered cinnamon and clove nuances befitting its name. The fruit is fleshy, almost berry-like, finishing with a citrus tang. Sweet yet lithe, and a steal at the price. Editors’ Choice. —J.C.  — J.C.  (3/1/2003)

Alfred Merkelbach 2001 Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese Fuder 11 Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $17
Classic apple blossom and dried spice aromas are backed by a core of steely citrus fruits and Granny Smith apples. The tart, lemony finish imbues the wine with great zip and verve, making it seem only lightly sweet, despite what is undoubtedtly considerable residual sugar.
