Johann Haart 2001 Piersporter Goldtropfchen Spätlese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
Citrusy-sweet, this spätlese epitomizes the strengths of the 2001 vintage: good ripeness allied to firm acids. Lime and quince aromas develop into green plum flavors, finishing long and juicy, sweet but balanced. Editors’ Choice. —J.C.

Johann Haart 2006 Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Auslese Goldcap Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- $46
This is a fairly full-bodied Mosel auslese, with plenty of both alcohol (9.5%) and remaining sweetness. A hint of dried apricot marks the nose, while apple, honey and clover blossom also come into play. Finishes long, with mouthcoating intensity of spice and citrus. Imported by Chapin Cellars, LLC.

Johann Haart 2006 Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Spätlese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
This fruit-driven wine lacks a touch of minerality but features admirably pure, focused notes of perfectly ripe apples, pineapple and citrus. It’s a sweet, medium-bodied spätlese that’s plump and succulent, delicious sipped on its own on a warm summer evening. Imported by Chapin Cellars, LLC.

Johann Haart 2001 Piersporter Goldtropfchen Kabinett Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- $17
Typical Mosel Riesling aromas, flavors and textures, but with an elegance and harmony that raises it above ordinary. Flowery, ginger-like and green apple aromas; pear, melon and even some berry flavors; and an almost weightless mouthfeel, add up to a winning combination. —J.C.

Johann Haart 2006 Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Kabinett Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- $19
For fans of mineral, slate-driven Rieslings, this should be a hit. The aromas are of dusty slate, while the wine’s flavors add petrol notes to the impression of liquid slate. Unlike many Mosel wines, there’s not much in the way of fruitiness, despite the wine’s plumpness. Imported by Chapin Cellars, LLC.

Johann Haart 2001 Piersporter Goldtropfchen QbA Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
The understated bouquet doesn't offer much of a clue to this wine's identity, but in the mouth, it's all juicy melons and peaches--a fat, easy drinker that finishes slightly soft. Ice it down and enjoy with a picnic lunch this summer.
