Weingut Burg Ravensburg 2008 Husarenkappe GG Riesling (Baden)
- Online Exclusive
- $32
Reasonably priced for a Grosses Gewächs wine, this medium-bodied Riesling displays a broad, creamy texture and lingering notes of melon, peach and even a hint of passion fruit, all layered over a bed of gravelly minerality.

Huber 2005 Bombacher Sommerhalde R Trocken Spätburgunder (Baden)
- Online Exclusive
- $89
This selection of Huber Spätburgunders was a pleasant surprise, although the prices are enough to make one groan. The Sommerhalde R reveals gently roasted aromas of brown sugar, dried spices and beet root, followed by flavors that lean toward black cherries. It’s got that silky, Pinot Noirtexture on the midpalate, then finishes crisp and long.

Huber 2007 Wildenstein R Trocken Spätburgunder (Baden)
- Online Exclusive
- $96
Huber’s three R (for Reserve) bottlings are all borderline excellent in 2007, but this one gets the nod for its harmonious complexity of herb, cherry, mushroom and coffee notes, and its supple tannins, in fine balance with its medium body and moderate acidity. Drink now–2020.

Huber 2007 Malterdinger Bienenberg R Trocken Spätburgunder (Baden)
- Online Exclusive
- $50
It’s really splitting hairs when evaluating Huber’s 2007 R bottlings. This one comes across as slighty reduced, with some cabbage-like notes that require vigorous swirling to dissipate. Yet it remains complex, with black cherries and a slightly more muscular, tannic style than Huber’s other ’07s. Drink 2013–2020.

Huber 2005 Wildenstein R Trocken Spätburgunder (Baden)
- Online Exclusive
- $138
The high-quality oak used in this wine really stands out, providing touches of brown sugar, cinnamon, coffee and bacon to the otherwise modest black cherry fruit. It’s reasonably full-bodied for a German Pinot Noir, with a long finish and supple tannins.

Huber 2007 Bombacher Sommerhalde R Trocken Spätburgunder (Baden)
- Online Exclusive
- $59
Toasty and dark-fruited, Huber’s 2007 Bombacher Sommerhalde R falls somewhere between the Wildenstein and Malterdinger Bienenberg in style. It’s less herbal and more powerful than the former, but not as muscular as the latter. The tannins are still silky, yet there’s great intensity, ending on a long, slightly charred note. Drink 2012–2020.

Weingut Burg Ravensburg 2008 Freiherr von Goeler Dry Riesling (Baden)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $13
A lovely and versatile Riesling, filled with lime, floral and apple and pear shadings. This medium-bodied, barely off-dry wine features pristine citrus and tree fruit flavors on the midpalate, then ends on a slightly spicy note.
