Dönnhoff 2001 Schlossböckelheimer Kupfergrube Spätlese Riesling (Nahe)
- $42
Helmut Dönnhof is at the top of his game. From its explosive nose of powdered quartz and fresh apple skin through the flavors of apple, peach, melon and mineral, this wine has it all. It’s medium-weight—even a bit full-bodied for Riesling—but impeccably balanced. Great length completes the package. Simply put, a tour de force. —J.C.

Schäfer-Fröhlich 2007 Bockenauer Felseneck Spätlese Riesling (Nahe)
- $41
Starts off with beautiful scents of ripe peaches, orange blossom and a briny minerality, then delivers all of that and more in a slightly creamy, sensuous mouthful of flavor. The purity of ripe fruit is noteworthy, extending through the long, filigreed finish.

Tesch 2001 Langenlonsheimer Lohrer Berg Eiswein Riesling (Nahe)
- $68
There might be a hint of botrytis, but this is largely clean, delivering sweet pineapple, peach, melon and citrus flavors. Fat and unctuous for an eiswein, and finishes soft, but is still delicious. —J.C.

Helmut Hexamer 2004 Quarzit Meddersheimer Rheingrafenberg Qualitätswein Riesling (Nahe)
- Editors' Choice

Racy and crisp, this wine showcases the balance that is a hallmark of the best ’04s. Green apple and lime aromas segue easily into similar flavors, graced with touches of spring flowers and leafy greens, while the vibrant apple notes linger elegantly on the finish. Imported by Michael Skurnik Wines.

Prinz zu Salm-Dalberg'Sches Weingut Im Schloss Wallhausen 2010 Grünschiefer Trocken Riesling (Nahe)
- $41
Perfumed and floral upfront, but not lacking for substance, with apple and citrus notes bolstered by hints of wet stones. This is mouthfilling yet light at the same time, finishing dry and citrusy.

Tesch 2001 Langenlonsheimer Lohrer Berg Auslese Riesling (Nahe)
- $30
Quite sweet, even for an auslese, with ample evidence of botrytis in its dried apricot and orange-blossom aromas. Tastes of honey and orange marmalade, with just enough acidity to keep it drinkable. Finishes long and sweet. —J.C.

New World enthusiasts may ask, “Where’s the fruit?” This wine is all about the earth, and fans of terroir should jump at it. Smoky and earthy on the nose, the palate delivers deep, rich notes of honeyed stones and dried spices. —J.C.
