I buy this wine when I can because it is true example of Zinfandel before the over-ripe, over alcohol, fruit bombs became the fad. With this wine, you can taste real zin varietal flavors. Good acid and lower alcohol make this an excellent food wine, which can't be said of the porty alternatives.

Navarro continues to make the best gewuertztaminer this side of Alace. It is true to varietal as a pale, light wine with true gewurzy flavors of fresh apple and fruit. I find it a perfect accompaniment for shell fish, including mussels in a garlicy sauce. It also goes well with turkey and really stands up well to Thanksgiving dinner. Don't drink this if you don't like gewuertztraminer. It wears its varietal character on its sleeve.

The combination of minerality and citric acidity make this an excellent version of Pinot Gris and a great food wine. It's refreshing on the palette and is great with Italian salads, seafood, and cheesy dishes. It's good cold, but also warms to the table and preserves a super Pinot Gris flavor. Just the way I like it.
