Dr. Heidemanns-Bergweiler 2009 Bernkasteler Johannisbrünnchen Eiswein Riesling (Mosel)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $80

This lesser-known vineyard is the source of at least two stupendous eisweins in 2009. This one features demerara syrup and ripe peaches imbued with an incredibly lush texture, yet balanced by bright acids and a slightly briny quality on the finish. — J.C. (3/1/2012)

Maximin Grünhäuser 2009 Herrenberg Eiswein Riesling (Mosel)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $228

Von Schubert bottled two eisweins from the Herrenberg in 2009. This one is pale in color, with intense pineapple and honey flavors. The wine is sweet, luscious and viscous yet never cloying, with a long finish that features unfolding layers of fruit flavor. — J.C. (3/1/2012)

Dr. Pauly Bergweiler 2009 Bernkasteler Johannisbrünnchen Eiswein Riesling (Mosel)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $95

This eiswein is supersweet, yet remains decently balanced, thanks to a laser beam of bright acidity. After an initial hint of volatility, the flavors of preserved citrus and stone fruits are almost painful in their intensity, so sip it in small doses and savor the nearly endless finish. — J.C. (3/1/2012)

Schloss Saarstein 2009 Serrig Schloss Saarsteiner Eiswein Riesling (Mosel)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $448

One of the palest icewines to come across our tasting table, this is an extraordinarily fine example, with great purity of fruit and incredible balance. Tangerine and pineapple flavors shine with pristine clarity from start to finish, making it very drinkable. — J.C. (3/1/2012)

Schloss Saarstein 2009 Serrig Schloss Saarsteiner Beerenauslese Goldkapsel Riesling (Mosel)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $231

Like all of the Schloss’s noble sweet wines, this one isn’t overblown, displaying ample sweetness but also zesty acidity. There’s a slight greenish hint to the candied citrus and dried pineapple flavors, with a lemony streak on the finish that balances the sweetness impeccably. Should last for 40–50 years—possibly more—in a cool cellar. — J.C. (3/1/2012)

S.A. Prüm 2009 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Vat 59 Trockenbeerenauslese Riesling (Mosel)

Online Exclusive

Price $440

So unctuous and decadently sweet that this is one of those TBAs that’s best taken in very small sips. Dried apricot, candied pear and caramelized pineapple flavors are concentrated and intense, lingering sweetly on the long finish. — J.C. (3/1/2012)

Dr. Loosen 2009 Ürziger Würzgarten Auslese Riesling (Mosel)

Online Exclusive

Price $64

A terrific auslese, sweet but balanced near perfectly by lime-like acids. It’s stony yet honeyed, concentrated yet somehow light on its feet. Then it’s bright, fresh and full of juicy citrus fruit on the finish. — J.C. (3/1/2012)

S.A. Prüm 2009 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese Riesling (Mosel)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $40

Starts off a bit sweaty, then develops passion fruit and tangerine aromas. It’s a medium-bodied auslese, sweet but balanced, with peach and apricot, ripe citrus and honey all coming together in lovely harmony. Delicious now, and should age well for 10–20 years. — J.C. (3/1/2012)

Good price for a Napa Chardonnay this rich and balanced. It’s enormously…
