Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim 2003 Baron Heyl Nierstein Riesling Spätlese (Rheinhessen)
- Editors' Choice
- $24
Starts with slightly floral apple and pear aromas, developing tons of tropical fruit flavors on the palate; soft and inviting yet full-flavored. Not a simple fruit bomb, as it reveals smoky, minerally nuances on the long finish.

Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim 2005 Baron Heyl Kabinett Riesling (Rheinhessen)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $19
A fairly big, broad-shouldered wine that displays ripe baked apple and spice scents, but also intense minerality. The slightly oily texture comes off like creamy molten rock, finishing long and mostly dry, with lingering slatey notes.

Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim 2004 Baron Heyl Nierstein Kabinett Riesling (Rheinhessen)
- Editors' Choice
- $19
On the big (12% alcohol) and dry side, with weighty flavors of minerals and spice undergirding ripe apple and pineapple notes. Not a traditional fruchtig kabinett, but one that should go well with rich fish dishes and roast chicken. Long on the finish.

Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim 2001 Nierstein Pettental QbA Trocken Riesling (Rheinhessen)
- $30
A bit pricey, but it’s a fine dry Riesling, filled with green apples, limes and hints of slate. The slightly powdery texture in the mouth speaks of crushed rock and minerals, while the zesty lime flavors linger on the finish. —J.C.

- Best Buy
- $11
Straightforward baked apple and dried spice aromas and flavors combine pleasantly in this value-priced regional blend. It’s weighty enough to work with food, sweetly balanced enough to work on its own, with a peppery bite to the finish. Best Buy. —J.C.

Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim 2001 Nierstein Kabinett Riesling (Rheinhessen)
- $14
Light and dry, with aromas of citrus and honey, and flavors reminiscent of nasturtium blossoms—floral and peppery. Grapefruit takes charge on the tart, clean finish. —J.C.

Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim 2003 Baron Heyl Nierstein Kabinett Riesling (Rheinhessen)
- $16
Herrnsheim tends toward a drier style of wine without labeling it as such, so this kabinett is crisp and almost dry-tasting. Apple blossoms and limes on the nose are complemented by hints of diesel and a tart, steely finish.
