July 5, 2015 - Apricots and peaches on nose, mostly dry, crisp, tropical fruits on pallet and long finish
May 14, 2015 - Loved it! Hint of honey suckle and minerals but not too sweet. Wonderful clean wine but would serve so well with fruit, cheese or spicier items. So balanced.

March 13, 2015 - Flowery, not typical Gerwurtz nose. It's dry, which is good, but a little austere. The lychee fruit is there but not as rich and intense as some. As far as Gerwurtz goes this is fresh and vibrant.
July 29, 2014 - Fresh, peppery, well-developed on the palate with typical notes of peaches, white flowers, soap, honey, hay and white pepper. This wine has absolutely benefited from cellaring and feels very rich and complex. I would drink now if I had more bottles.
June 27, 2014 - We liked it (because we like all Gewürztraminers) but this is not the best of the breed that we've had. Fragrances of lychees and honeysuckle. Somewhat unctuous on the palate with flavors of apples, lychees, and a bit of spice.
June 11, 2014 - One of my favorite Gewurz wines. Very minerally clean finish.
April 1, 2014 - Clear, light golden-yellow in appearance with a sensual nose of yellowish fruits accented with an enticing floral lift. The palate is well-balanced, honeyed, and a certain fruitiness that is reminiscent of apples cider, pineapples, summer peaches, cooked pears and ends with a very satisfying and refreshing finish. A very "un-gewurztraminer-like" gewurztraminer but enjoyable nonetheless.
January 20, 2014 - 14% abv. Pale gold color with greenish tinge. Fruit and spice on the nose--almost a spiced peach note and some ginger and mace. Tastes a bit sweet. Stayed pleasurable through three evenings. I had it with chicken and broccoli one evening and also with shrimp. I was surprised by how well this held its quality for more than five years after harvest. It still has some acidic zip.
December 31, 2013 - Was so-so last time. Excellent tonight not sure why the difference. Floral, fruity, perfect balance. Delicious.
September 24, 2013 - Really nice right now - the 5 years has done this bottle well. Could have gone a lot longer too.
Petes in Seattle has 2010 at 16 bucks right now. Probably worth a half case to sit on for 5-10 years.
