Last of these - still an enjoyable wine. This time it was paired with the early part of a hibachi dinner (miso soup, salad, fried rice/noodles). It's a nice dry white wine with nice floral notes that gives almost an impression of sweetness. Easy drinking and a good food wine.

Agree with others little on the nose that reminds me of gewurz, mostly grassy/herbal (sauv blanc like). The palate adds honeysuckle and bit of citrusy fruit & light acidity. Not a bad wine, perhaps a bit simple just again does not show typicity. Drink now.

PnP. Muted nose. Sweet, with a little tarty oakiness on the finish. Having trouble describing this one. A little different than I expected from a Gewurtz. Good, but not stellar. 87-88pts?

Agree with others that when served at frig temp this wine gives up little on the nose or the palate and seems to drink more like a pinot blanc. As it warms the distinct floral characteristics of gewurz become more pronounced but I still prefer Navarro's version over this.

Brought to dinner at a thai restaurant. Pale straw color. Non-existent nose which is something I never associate with a good gewurtztrraminer. No spices, no floral notes. Nothing. The wine came across as a bit flat on the palate too with some spicy tropical fruit flavors and medium acidity being the only things that stood out. Not a terrible wine and certainly drinkable but I was really expecting more from this wine based on the winemaker's pedigree. This was a weak effort but I guess it could have been an off bottle perhaps.

Nice traditional Gewurtztraminer nose of Lychee and honeysuckle. Less intense and more minerally than some. Good balance, great with Thai food. Very clean finish. Not too complex, but a nice wine.

Lovely sweet honeysuckle on the nose, light and crisp, nice minerality, it smells sweeter than it tastes (mostly dry and a bit tannic). In the mouth it's a bit of a floral bouquet. Clearly a summer wine and should be drunk then, but a nice one from those who typically prefer their reds.

Very pale straw in color, nearly clear. Spicy and floral, not much fruit. Crisp, bone dry finish with bracing acidity. Smooths out a bit with a little air. Very refreshing. Hold the rest for summer.

Spicy sweet aromas on the nose, slightly sweet on the palate, but this may be a matter of good fruit balanced by refreshing acidity.
