2024 Cameron Hughes 'Lot 959' Gewürztraminer
Gracefully marrying bold aromatics with elegant structure, this full-bodied, dry Gewürztraminer bursts with notes of juicy lychee, sun-ripened mango, delicate rose petal, and honey. Its stone fruit–driven palate is vibrant yet refined, offering an easy-drinking experience from first sip to finish. This versatility makes it a standout companion at the table — perfect alongside spicy tuna rolls, panang curry with shrimp, or ginger-steamed halibut. Served well-chilled, it brings a floral lift and tropical brightness that beautifully complements both bold flavors and delicate textures.
Sourced from California’s Dry Creek Valley, Lot 959 benefits from a region known for its exceptional balance of sun exposure and cooling coastal breezes. Nestled in Sonoma County, Dry Creek’s gravelly soils and temperate climate provide the perfect conditions for growing expressive, aromatic whites like Gewürztraminer. Here, the grape achieves both ripeness and precision, resulting in a wine that is rich in character yet refreshingly poised. Lot 959 captures the valley’s unique terroir with striking clarity, offering a rare and compelling interpretation of this often-overlooked varietal.
