Domaine Zind-Humbrecht 2000 Vendange Tardive Grand Cru Clos Saint Urbain Gewurztraminer

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht 2002 Grand Cru Heimbourg Turckheim Vendange Tardive Gewurztraminer
- $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.

Domaine Zind-Humbrecht 2002 Grand Cru Hengst Wintzenheim Gewurztraminer
- $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.

Jean-Baptiste Adam 2005 Sélection de Grains Nobles Gewurztraminer
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $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.

Williams Selyem 2007 Vista Verde Vineyard Late Harvest Gewürztraminer (San Benito County)
- Online Exclusive
- $40
Even after a big dinner, there’s room for this amazingly rich dessert wine. With residual sugar of 15.3%, it’s extremely sweet, but vibrant acidity gives it nerve and zest. Shocks the palate with massive flavors of apricot essence, peaches, crème brûlée, honey and vanilla bean. Tantalizing and exotic.
