Hugel 2007 Jubilee Hugel Gewurztraminer
A mature Gewürztraminer like this shows the richness of the grape and how the spice mellows as it ages. This is intense and rounded, with a streak of acidity adding freshness. Ready to drink now.

Hugel 1998 Tradition Tokay Pinot Gris
- $24
The nose offers subtle pear and peach aromas with hints of anise, but the wine turns bolder on the palate, where sweet fruit is balanced against spiciness. The elegant finish displays handsome fruit.

Hugel 2001 Tradition Riesling
- Online Exclusive
A fine, soft wine, with a hint of mature petrol already. There is dryness, fine acidity, flavors of white currants, peaches and a steely, mineral character. This is the second level of quality from Hugel, and it posesses a good potential from aging.

Mid-gold color, with strong waxy, earthy aromas. Dry with broad savory, earthy flavors, some bruised apple, melon compote and fusel notes. Mature with a fairly rich texture, but a slightly viscous finish. Moderate flavor concentration and length.

Hugel 2008 Tradition Pinot Gris
Rich, soft and spicy, here is a warm, now-mature style of Pinot Gris. Its ripe melon and peach flavors complement the lychee note. There is a touch of pepper that gives an edge to this rounded wine.

Hugel 2009 Pinot Noir
Hugel has always made a benchmark Pinot Noir. This has weight and richness. It does have a strong wood content that provides some bitterness, though it is rounded out by the note of ripe red plum, lifted by final acidity.

Hugel 1999 Gewürztraminer
- $19
An aromatic, dense bouquet of tangerine and lychee nut opens this textbook Gewürz. The spiciness really shows in the mouth, where pepper and dry-rub flavors accent the sweet, exotic fruit. Not particularly long, but it has the flavor and mouthfeel to complement complex or intensely flavored foods.
