Community Tasting Notes (average 91.1 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 14 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by PIntag on 5/11/2024 & rated 92 points: Always enjoy this bottling and this vintage also delivers. Fresh acidity but substantial weight and no shortage of different flavors across the palate. Fantastic white to enjoy on its own or will work with a variety of dishes. (275 views)
 Tasted by BobMilton on 5/9/2024 & rated 93 points: Really nice. Just enough sweetness to cut the acidity. (321 views)
 Tasted by Brian Glas on 3/9/2024 & rated 90 points: Tasted on day 2. Floral notes. Tastes like honeysuckle. Some sweet citrus fruit balanced by crisp acidity. Very nice. (590 views)
 Tasted by Maphill01 on 2/23/2024: PNP. Very similar to the 2020 last year. Aromatic, ripe fruit, stone fruit and some tropical fruits. Lychee and some honey. Medium+ body with nice acidity. Yum. (634 views)
 Tasted by Brian Glas on 12/10/2023 & rated 91 points: Popped and poured. Some floral here but not overwhelming like other Gerwruz wines. Nice tang and white peach fruit. Great balance. (777 views)
 Tasted by fingers on 9/7/2023 & rated 92 points: Notes after a day open. Pale green straw color, clear and bright. Medium-high intensity aromas of lychee, kiwi, pineapple, a little white pepper. Nice tang on the palate from acidity that balances out the fruit, which has strong endurance into a beautifully clean finish.
Just went back and read my note on the 2020 - almost identical! So, it's either Larry's very consistent winemaking or I need to expand my vocabulary ;)
5+12+17+8= 92 (963 views)
 Tasted by brigcampbell on 3/26/2023: Excellent acidity balances the ripe citrus and yellow fruit. I went back for seconds on this one at the end of the night. (898 views)
 Tasted by Brian Glas on 3/21/2023 & rated 91 points: Big hit of flowery gerwurz on this. Tangy acidity. Some citrus fruit. Nice balance. Many gerwurz wines are thin but this has some body to back it up. (651 views)
 Tasted by BobMilton on 12/6/2022 & rated 90 points: A nice, dry Gewurtz. Went well with Asian themed food. (819 views)
 Tasted by Brian Glas on 11/25/2022 & rated 91 points: Typical gewurz. Not overly floral on the nose. A restrained style of gewurz. Too many are overdone and flabby. Not this. Tangy acidity. Nice pleasant floral fruit. (801 views)
 Tasted by Brian Glas on 10/27/2022 & rated 91 points: Floral on the nose. Tangy acidity. Some sweetness. Round fleshy fruit. Excellent balance. Finished clean (962 views)
 Tasted by klezman on 7/14/2022: This was very nice. Just the tiniest bit off-dry. Classic Gewurtz aromas and nice acidity to go along with the medium weight palate. Went decently with Buffalo wings (it probably needed to be sweeter to handle the spice level I put in my wings!). (1521 views)
 Tasted by Discobiscuits42 on 5/19/2022 & rated 90 points: This is really interesting. Sampled from 2oz bottle during Larry's zoom tasting. Spearmint/floral/honeysuckle nose. The palate is floral as well with some definite minty notes. Very aromatic. ~13%. Gewurz grafted in 2005. M- acidity, not sweet/flabby. (778 views)

Varietal Character (Appellation America)

USA

American wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.

California

2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson
