Eugen Wehrheim 2006 Niersteiner Bildstock Kabinett Riesling (Rheinhessen)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
A plump, medium-bodied Riesling, this shows the ripeness of the vintage in its ample alcohol (11.5%) and remaining residual sweetness, but doesn’t seem heavy or overdone. Honeyed stone fruit and melon are buoyed by some slate-driven minerality while the finish remains succulent and fresh.

Eugen Wehrheim 2001 Niersteiner Orbel Spätlese Riesling (Rheinhessen)
- $15
Nicely balanced, this wine walks the fine edge between sweet and tart. It brings together apple and pear aromas with pineapple and peach flavors, complementing them with zesty acidity. —J.C.

Eugen Wehrheim 2003 Niersteiner Oelberg Auslese Riesling (Rheinhessen)
- $24
Honeyed apples and pears mark the nose of this sweet but balanced auslese. Tasting it reveals hints of dried apricots, cool mint and an earthy minerality, all tied up in a clean, crisp finish. Imported by Chapin Cellars.

Eugen Wehrheim 2003 Niersteiner Orbel Riesling Spätlese (Rheinhessen)
- $16
Slightly rubbery at first, with notes of slate, diesel and lime, then develops apple, pear and citrus flavors on the palate. Light and spry; well balanced. Finishes with hints of pith.

Eugen Wehrheim 2003 Niersteiner Bildstock Riesling Kabinett (Rheinhessen)
- $13
A decent value, Wehrheim’s Bildstock kabinett features standard German Riesling aromas and flavors—apple, pear and citrus—but at a slightly low intensity. Soft textured, with a short finish, but all in proportion and good overall.

Eugen Wehrheim 2001 Niersteiner Bildstock Kabinett Riesling (Rheinhessen)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
Raw oysters might be just the ticket to match with this lean, lemony kabinett. There's a bit of plumpness in the midpalate that comes across as a custardy quality, but the lengthy finish is extremely tart.
