Schloss Johannisberger 2009 Trockenbeerenauslese Riesling (Rheingau)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $445
Even in a flight of top BAs and TBAs, this one stood out. It’s hugely sweet and viscous, yet also has amazingly fresh acids that really prolong the finish and promise decades—if not centuries—of cellaring. Golden raisin and dried apricot notes are true to type, and the wine’s balance is impeccable.

Schloss Johannisberger 2006 Trockenbeerenauslese Goldlack Riesling (Rheingau)
- Cellar Selection
- $486
So incredibly thick and sweet it's almost chewy in texture, with aromas and flavors that feature a fascinating interplay of fresh and dried apricots, peach and citrus, kept lively by healthy acidity. The finish lasts for minutes; the wine should age well for decades.

Schloss Johannisberger 2007 Goldlack Trockenbeerenauslese Riesling (Rheingau)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
Shows some amazing aromatics similar to tea leaves to go alongside dried peaches and apricots. It's rich, sweet and unctuous in texture, coating the mouth with sugary goodness and yet finishing with mouthwatering acids as well. Drink now-2040.

Schloss Johannisberger 2009 Auslese Riesling (Rheingau)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $200
This historic estate certainly excelled with sweet wines in 2009. This auslese is lusciously sweet yet lithe, its ripe stone fruit—apricot and peach—balanced by citrusy notes. Finishes long and clean, not cloying. Delicious now, but should easily be capable of aging for 20–30 years.

Schloss Johannisberger 2006 Rosa-Goldlack Beerenauslese Riesling (Rheingau)
- $395
With scents of dried apricots and superconcentrated pear nectar, one sniff suggests this is going to be a sumptuously sweet treat. And it is. Pear, melon and spice flavors linger elegantly on the finish, ending long and sweet.

Schloss Johannisberger 2007 Rosalack Auslese 375 ml Riesling (Rheingau)
- Online Exclusive
This succulent, almost tender, wine starts off with lovely aromas of honey and bergamot, adding hints of apricot and vanilla in the mouth. It’s a soft, lush style, rather sweet, with a long, mouthwatering finish. It may not be as long-lived as some 2007s, but it should remain delectable for another 10 years or so.

Schloss Johannisberger 2006 Rosalack Auslese Riesling (Rheingau)
- $122
Now that this famous estate is turning out stellar wines once again, the only problem remaining is the pricing. This auslese features slaty, minerally aromas touched with hints of honey and quince, then opens up on the palate to reveal honey, pear, melon and even a hint of peach, all undergirded by a bedrock of minerality. It’s sweet but balanced, with a…

Schloss Johannisberger 2006 Silberlack Erstes Gewächs Riesling (Rheingau)
- $77
This is a big, broad-shouldered Riesling, with plenty of body and a slightly oily mouthfeel. Powerful mineral notes dominate, giving the impression of liquid stone and spice, finishing almost totally dry.
