St. Urbans-Hof 2008 Leiwener Laurentiuslay Beerenauslese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $175
From a vintage not known for its supersweet selections, this wine is a revelation. Honey and bergamot notes mingle easily on the nose, while the palate unfolds to reveal layers of honey, dried apricots and orange marmalade. It’s rich, viscous and concentrated without any heaviness, with a finish that’s sweet and lingering. This should age through 2040 easily.

St. Urbans-Hof 2005 Ockfener Bockstein Auslese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Editors' Choice
- $40
Shows the winery’s characteristic leesy notes on the nose, but unfurls on the palate to reveal wonderfully delineated flavors of melon, white peach, honey and green apples, all held together by slaty underpinnings. It’s rich and mouthcoating without being heavy, ending on a spicy, minerally note that helps counter the wine’s sweetness. Imported by HB Wine Merchants.

St. Urbans-Hof 2004 Ockfener Bockstein Spätlese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
Is this a breakout year for Nik Weis? Never before have I found his range of wines so compelling, and this spätlese is just one example. Yes, it’s still marked by heavy leesy notes on the nose, but the fruit is plump and succulent on the palate, mixing melon and apple notes with a heavy dose of spice and mineral.

St. Urbans-Hof 2005 Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Spätlese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Editors' Choice
- $30
A rich and exotic spätlese, with honeyed fruit that even contains a hint of apricot to go with the apple, melon and citrus flavors. Rather full-bodied (9% alcohol) and sweet, but remarkably finesse-filled as well, finishing long. Imported by HB Wine Merchants.

St. Urbans-Hof 2004 Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Auslese Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- Cellar Selection
- $45
Like virtually all St. Urbans-Hof wines, this one starts off a bit sulfury, but the quality of the wine underneath is readily apparent, from its scents of slate and apple to flavors of white peach and melon. It’s generous in fruit, yet restrained in texture, featuring an almost austere minerality that balances the wine’s residual sugar. Cool and stony on the finish…

St. Urbans-Hof 2005 Ockfener Bockstein Kabinett Riesling (Mosel-Saar-Ruwer)
- $18
Leesy, smoky and with a note of diesel oil, this light-bodied offering from the Saar emphasizes the mineral aspects of its site, then adds graceful notes of tart green apples and citrus to perk things up. Crisp, long and mouthwatering on the finish. Imported by HB Wine Merchants.

St. Urbans-Hof 2008 Piesporter Goldtröpfchen Kabinett Riesling (Mosel)
- Online Exclusive
- $23
Soft at first, but the density of the pine, gardenia and spice flavors emerges as the wine opens up while the lingering finish shows excellent purity of fruit. Serve with sushi. Drink now or hold three to four years for more complexity.
