Fruit & floral on the nose but much drier on the palette. Great balance of the range of Gewürztraminer

I could see this being good with the upcoming turkey-centric holiday. Has a bit of acid and some strawberry-watermelon sweetness and flavors, with a bit of mild lemon towards the back of the palate.

Holy florals, Batman! This thing quaffs and spews dried flowers and perfume, and deliciously so. Aromas include white and orange dried flowers, rose petal, apricot, white peach, honeysuckle, and orange blossom. It's full bodied with beautifully precise acid that elevates the physical experience. The balance is spot-on and the mouthfeel is delineated and piercing. Flavors include dried apricot and pear, fleshy white peach, honeysuckle, loads of orchids and yellow rose petal and citrus blossom, and ginger powder. Appropriate level of sweetness, likely a small amount of residual sugar. This is aged brilliantly and is full-throttled right now, pure pleasure with impressive complexity.

Served chilled at an Indian restaurant with my wine group. We all enjoyed it and felt it was a bigger, creamier, less acidic Gewurtztraminer than we had tried in the past.

Nice floral notes but no backbone, depth, or character. Light and flabby. Must be drunk soon after opening.

Outstanding example of a USA domestic Gewurztraminer. Shades of Alsace, more in the Trimbach style than the riper examples like Zind-Humbrecht. Bright, spicy floral qualities on the nose and palate. Full & rich, with a clean, dry finish. I am always delighted to find a wine of outstanding quality that comes from a region not known for that variety. Drinking perfectly now, but good balance will hold it for a few more years.

Generic, American gewuertz. Certainly drinkable, but stick to Alsace!

Excellent example of the varietal.

Nose shows candied ginger, quince, bright notes

Palate is viscous, showing candied ginger and lemon oil with a nice spicy finish.

Very much enjoyed with a roasted chicken.

Would buy again.

Sitting in the bottle getting tangy. Yes, tangy. 14 months since last one. Nice ruby color. Nose detects some hotness, but I must be mental. I did not let it warm up from the cellar. If a noticeable difference in a few hours, I will edit this.

Pleasant enough rose but lacks a more specific focus that would really improve its individuality. As it is, its a little blah blah blah with just enough acids to keep it going on the straight and narrow. A deeper, more focused flavor palate (N777 calls it concentration) would be a great enhancement!

Second bottle, and the ambiguity continues. Grapefruit, like an NZ Sauvignon Blanc, is dominant, and dry finish.
No hint of viscous or oily mouth feel. This bottle had significant sediment or crystallization at the end.

Had with Thanksgiving turkey. Nicely paired .
Nose had some crazy aromatics of candied ginger and sweet floral notes.
Palate continues with the candied ginger notes, some spice and some nice tropical notes . Nice acidity really helps it finish bright and clean.
Nicely done and would buy again.

Appearance:Light pink/bright salmon colored. No gas and lighter tearing

Nose: medium(-) intense aromas of crisp fresh strawberries and candied cherry with notes of white flowers and cut grass. No apparent oaking/aging aromas to me

Palate: fresh and clean, round/slightly lean texture, medium acid, a touch of tannins, light bodied, and dry, with a nice balance of light flavors, calmer acidity, and a tiny amount of of phenolics. Light flavors of slightly under-ripe strawberries and lemongrass with a delicate medium(-) clean finish

Very clean and drinkable! I tend to prefer roses with a little more concentration, but this definitely was pleasant to drink

Plum and camphor on the nose. On the palate, plum, black cherry, and notes of savory spice and something earthy, with light to moderate tannin and moderate acidity on the medium finish. This was an average value at about $25.
