Wine Review: This pale straw colored Gewurztraminer opens with an attractive lychee and peach bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a mild lychee with notes of mild minerality and faint green apple. The finish is rather dry and its flavors linger slightly. This Gewurz would pair well will cashew chicken. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Aromas of allspice, jasmine and citrus burst from the glass. Luscious flavors of pink grapefruit, white nectarine, navel orange, lychee and starfruit are 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.
