Karl Erbes 2006 Ürziger Würzgarten Auslese * * Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Editors' Choice
- $48
This is a big step up in quality from Erbes’ one-star bottling this vintage, offering greater intensity, purity and raciness. Aromas of rock dust set the stage for a wine of intense minerality, balanced by sweet flavors of melon and honey. Bergamot and spice notes linger elegantly on the long finish. Imported by Chapin Cellars, LLC.

Karl Erbes 2006 Ürziger Würzgarten Beerenauslese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- $79
Dried apricot notes dominate this wine from start to finish, making it a bit one-dimensional. Still, it features impressive sugar-acid balance so despite the sweetness it’s not cloying; finishes long, with lipsmacking notes of honeyed pineapple. Imported by Chapin Cellars, LLC.

Karl Erbes 2007 Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Editors' Choice
- $26
Right now the aromas are a bit tight—even steely—with just modest hints of apple and lime, but the fruit comes to the fore on the palate, exploding with baked apple and spice flavors, balanced by zippy acids. Best from 2011–2015.

Karl Erbes 2006 Ürziger Würzgarten Kabinett Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- $19
Zesty lime, crisp green apple and slatey minerality all coalesce in this wonderfully crisp, lithe kabinett. There’s a bit of CO2, but that only helps invigorate the crushed-stone finish. Imported by Chapin Cellars, LLC.

Karl Erbes 2008 Ürziger Würzgarten Kabinett Riesling (Mosel)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
This boasts a pretty nose of peach, honeysuckle blossom, tangerine and cantaloupe and stony minerality. Lively, juicy texture with a medley of zesty citrus fruit, and fresh stone-fruit flavors. Hints of honey and blossoms and a lingering minerality linger on the finish.

Karl Erbes 2006 Ürziger Würzgarten Auslese * Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- $44
Thick, viscous and sweet, Erbes’ one-star auslese lacks the finesse and racy elegance of the best examples, but still offers sweet flavors of dried pineapple and ripe melon, balanced by hints of petrol. A slightly earthy, bitter note creeps in on the finish. Imported by Chapin Cellars, LLC.

Karl Erbes 2001 Ürziger Würzgarten Spätlese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Best Buy
- $14
Smells minty fresh, with sweet apples and pears forming the core of the wine. There’s just enough acidity to balance the wine; although it tastes sweet now, it should firm up in a few years. Tasted twice, this score reflects the better bottle; another showed some volatile acidity and would have rated 82 points. Best Buy. —J.C.
