| Community Tasting Notes (average 89 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by The Drunken Cyclist on 3/17/2010 & rated 89 points: Very good. Typical floral gewurz nose. On the palate some tropical notes with a good balance of acidity/sweetness. Lacked the unctuous feel of some better gewurztraminers, though.

| Paul Blanck Producer websiteGewürztraminer Varietal Character (Appellation America)AltenbourgThe lieu-dit Altenburg is located between 220 and 300 m of altitude, gently sloping, just below the lower boundary of the Grand Cru Furstentum.
Its soils are marl-calcaro-sandstone, comparable to those of the Furstentum, with a higher proportion of sand and a slightly earlier maturation. The Altenburg promotes great ripeness, it produces very beautiful Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer.
The deep, clay-limestone soils of this Kientzheim hill are recognized geologically and empirically as being very favorable to Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer.
The lowest part of this hill gives birth to the Gewurztraminer Cuvée Laurence.
