| Tasted by subir on 9/25/2014 & rated 88 points: Beautiful, deep gold color, lemon, quince, melon peel and some flint on the nose. Light-Medium body, medium acidity, dry. Impressive longevity for an entry level Alsace. (1983 views) |
| Tasted by GrandeSerataFuori on 5/20/2008 & rated 87 points: From 375ml. Soapy, melony nose. Round and fleshy on the mouthfeel, very little acid. Went ok with a scallop and shrimp over lettuce and goat cheese salad at Legal Seafood in the Boston airport. (3509 views) |

| Tasted by jeffal66 on 8/20/2007 & rated 93 points: Outstanding. My first-ever bottle and it exploded in my mouth. Complex, bright layers of fruit. Great w/ seafood. A delight. (3904 views) |
| Tasted by roberog on 4/7/2007 & rated 90 points: Had with a sweet Japanese marinade that went very well. Still drinking well although not as fruity. (3896 views) |
| Tasted by simpsonr on 2/21/2007 & rated 92 points: Another great showing from this wine. It is more deliniated than a year ago with intense nose of clove and lichi. The palate is rich and precise. Excellent stuff. (2491 views) |
| Tasted by kasnyder on 2/19/2007: A really nice wine. Definite floral aroma, with a nice balance of fruit and acid (maybe a tiny bit more acid would make this an outstanding wine). It also performed well the second day. Although it accompanied the dinner well, it can also be enjoyed on its own. (1990 views) |
| Tasted by g0wave on 1/19/2007 & rated 86 points: Distinct flora aroma with a hint of pineapple. Light golden in color. Citris on the front end, a bit flat in the middle, and a consistent lingering acidic finish. Served with Crispy Red Grouper with Mango Pineapple sauce with spicy long beans. Well paired for spicy thai and asain food - tasted better with dinner. (2156 views) |

| Tasted by win on 6/26/2006 & rated 85 points: Nice light golden color with a nice floral character, but the taste was a bit tin like, with some bitterness. Was much better the next day, which raised the score. (2696 views) |
| Tasted by Rob MacKay on 6/18/2006 & rated 89 points: Nice golden color with some slight floral notes. A bit on the sweet side but very refreshing on a hot day and also a great value. (2853 views) |
| Tasted by CADomer on 6/3/2006 & rated 85 points: Citrus on the nose but more of a apricot and honey pallete. Drank with some spicy asian food, good match. (2759 views) |
| Tasted by plitton on 3/29/2006: Love this wine. Grapefruit, floral, peaches. Good good fruit, floral, aid balance. Easy finish that's slightly sweet. (3092 views) |
| Tasted by nubbin on 3/14/2006 & rated 90 points: On my obcessive journey to the perfect Gewurztraminer (for me) I turned to the mighty Trimbach, which I had not had for years despite knowing they make very nice Gewurz. & Riesling. So I'd forgotten how delightful this wine is. I'm taking three others on this journy with me and the other two thought this is the ultimate. Beautifully positioned between sweet and dry to make it companionable with lots of food. Amazingly large nose of petals and pits and peels. Lots of energy in the mouth with first a hit of citrus and then a rugosa rose and then snappy apple. The value is pretty good as well. (3008 views) |
| Tasted by spidersva on 2/23/2006: So good as always (1839 views) |
| Tasted by simpsonr on 12/24/2005 & rated 91 points: For the money ($13), this is a very nice Gewurz. Lots of heady rose water aromas. The palate is full, very ripe and loaded with lichi and roses. A joy to drink and one of the better sub $20 Gewurz I've found. (2936 views) |
| Tasted by kris.h on 10/29/2005 & rated 86 points: Gewurztraminer: new world vs. old world (My Place. Seattle, WA): Light straw yellow. Intense pungent nose of lychee, pear, quince, and flowers. Smooth, rich palate. medium length finish that starts off subtle, intensifies, then fades. Dry with subtle sweetness. (4598 views) |
| Tasted by dougsmith on 8/8/2005 & rated 87 points: Pale gold color. Somewhat intense nose of tropical fruits, flowers and perfume. Although this is a complex scent, it does not change with time or temperature. On the palate, high acidity, nice finish. (3080 views) |
| Tasted by mdavis on 6/26/2005: Typical spicy lemon citrus nose, good depth, acid, and concentration on the palate, nice long lingering finish. Great value. (3807 views) |
| Tasted by MBannon on 4/7/2005 & rated 91 points: Trimbach Tasting (Liner & Elsen, Portland OR): Spicy, floral bouquet. Good body, nice balance. Enjoyable wine. (3993 views) |
| Tasted by marcabrams on 2/20/2005: 12.99 and quite enjoyable with spicy tofu steaks and thai laksa soup. On the nose, citrus and fuzzy peach. On the palate, pineapple, lychee and lingering peach. Sweet and refreshing with surprising weight and a dry finish. (3568 views) |
