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.

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.

Racy and crisp, this wine showcases the balance that is a hallmark of the best ’04s.

Imported by Michael Skurnik Wines.

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.

Schloss Wallhausen 2006 Prinz Salm Johannisberg Wallhausen Auslese Riesling (Nahe)
- $53
This complex wine manages to combine dry minerality and sweet fruit in an interesting way. There’s a briny note similar to crushed shells on the nose, but also bright cherry aromas, while on the palate an extra note of honey creeps in, imparting sweetness and length on the finish.
