A plump, juicy off-dry Riesling, the 2009 from Dr. Heidemanns-Bergweiler represents a solid value. Hints of diesel mark the nose, while the peach and lime flavors play off one another nicely. Nothing spectacular, just good everyday juice at an excellent price.

If there is any criticism to be made of this wine, it might be that it is just too fruity. Waves of honey and tropical fruit coat the mouth, wonderfully balanced by zesty acidity, and while it is sweet and lush it never seems cloying or heavy. Delicious now–2015, at least.

This is on the big side for a Mosel Riesling, at 12% alcohol, and the warmth shows through just a little bit. Still, the scents of wet moss and stone and chunky flavors suggesting melon, peach and citrus are undeniably attractive. Drink now.

So lush and rich, almost to the point of being over the top, this is a hugely tropical Riesling, with waves of cascading fruit. Yet there’s also a suggestion of slaty minerality and even a tinge of citrus pith reining things in on the finish. Drink it now as a dessert unto itself, or age it for a decade or more before trying it with more savory dishes.

Enlivened by a touch of CO2, this is a light, crisp kabinett that comes close to epitomizing the style. Lime and green apple flavors, a good balance between sugar and acid, with a hints of citrus pith on the finish.

The three Himmelreich ’09 spätleses tasted were all terrific, with this example showing great intensity and power without excessive weight. Apple and lime notes are underscored by something akin to liquid slate, while citrus notes linger on the long, vibrant finish.

Comes across as slightly rich, sweet and heavy for a kabinett, but this wine remains very enjoyable for its lush, sweet flavors of ripe peaches, baked apple and honey.
