Domaine Zind-Humbrecht 2002 Grand Cru Heimbourg Turckheim Vendange Tardive Gewürztraminer (Alsace)

  1. $86
It may be vendange tardive, but the sweetness is the least of this wine’s qualities. It is more to do with how it relates to the terroir of the Heimbourg vineyard, with its mineral character, and its fine structure and texture. The fruit is still young, and would benefit from 5–10 years aging.  — R.V.  (4/1/2005)

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht 2002 Grand Cru Hengst Wintzenheim Gewürztraminer (Alsace)

  1. $87
This is one of the most powerful in the range of Zind-Humbrecht’s extraordinary Gewürztraminers. It is packed with spice and pepper, and is rich, but dry. Its power comes from the sheer concentration of fruit. This is the sort of wine that needs to be drunk by itself—it will dominate any food.  — R.V.  (4/1/2005)

Nicolaysen Family Vineyards 2001 Late Harvest Alisos Vineyard Gewürztraminer (Santa Barbara County)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $50
Score Chasers: USA 2011
At nearly 10 years of age, this beautiful Gewürz shows how well a good California dessert wine can age. It’s still brisk in clean acidity, but is honeyed and sweet, with nearly 19% residual sugar. Shows rich, exotic pineapple, tangerine marmalade, gingerbread, apricot jam, buttered toast, crème brûlée, vanilla cream and spice flavors, leading to a long, deliriously…  — S.H.  (10/1/2011)

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht 2009 Clos Saint Urbain Rangen de Thann Grand Cru Gewürztraminer (Alsace)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $84
Hints of smokiness combine with a perfumed character in this wonderful wine. It has richness, with lychee and spice flavors, while adding the extra complexity of a touch of toast and green tea. Wonderful now, but will age for five years and more.  — R.V.  (12/1/2011)

Jean-Baptiste Adam 2005 Sélection de Grains Nobles Gewürztraminer (Alsace)

  • Editors' Choice
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $90
With its distinctive bouquet of rose petals and lychee fruit, this dessert wine’s Gewürztraminer character shines clearly through a modest veil of botrytis. It’s sweet and viscous without being overly heavy, with a long, spice-driven finish. Tremendous stuff, with a wonderful sense of harmony and balance.  — J.C.  (12/15/2008)
