Wine Review: This pale straw colored Gewurztraminer opens with an inviting lime and lychee like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light to medium bodied, slightly acidic and fresh. The flavor profile is a yummy blend of gentle lychee and clementine with hints of spice, white pepper and Anjou pear. The finish is quite dry and rather refreshing. This wine went fabulously with our shrimp, basil and pasta dinner. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Fragrant aromas of orange blossom and allspice burst from the glass followed by luscious flavors of lychee, clementine, Asian pear, and guava spiced with fresh ginger and coriander. The round, plush palate is accentuated with delicately woven mineral notes and crisp acidity leading into to a long, vibrant finish. Wonderfully bright and fresh in its youth, this classic, dry Gewurztraminer will continue to develop complexity up to fifteen years from vintage.
