I'm not a huge fan of Gewurtz, but this was a good bottle. All the floral notes while staying dry and not being cloying. Too many are flabby and this is definitely not in that category. Little peach and tangerine to go with the flowers. Finishes a bit bitter. Low acidity, but it seems appropriate to the wine rather than a negative.

The best Gewurz in CA? I think it's close. Certainly in the top 5. Served with a jerk pork rib dish, this just killed it. And, if I'm being honest, it was finished in pretty much record time. This (12,5%abv) is gulpable, refreshing on a grand scale, and very correct to the variety, something that CA is wont to to with non-native grapes. Only a whisper of sweetness on this; a good distance away from off-dry. This has substance, complexity, and balance. No kidding, I went online and bought a mixed case, straightaway. Larry's wines are honest, correct and balanced enough for an old AFWE like me to say, booyah!, I want more. (In all honesty, I've tried so, so many 'takes' on Gewurz from CA that I'd pretty much given up, but Larry gets it. He gets it, real good. Buy. Now. SUCH a good food wine; yowzers! recommended
SnP, served non-blind.

Every bit as delicious as I remembered from the previous bottle. And those notes still hold as well. Nice with spicy fried chicken.

This disappeared in a flash. Floral and mineral nose, good body, delicious citrus, and a tart/sweet medium length finish.

Very tasty white, though not one of my favorite Outliers.
