Strong musky, floral aroma. On the palate, a bewildering array of fruit, from pears to honeysuckle. Medium body with some oily Viognier feel and Marsanne feel. Strong stony minerality in the finish. Medium acidity.
Sometimes I think I wouldn't be able to differentiate Gewurztraminer and Viognier in a blind tasting. Being that when either of those grapes are used in a blend they tend to dominate the aroma, it immediately reminded me of a very good Alsace Edelzwicker blend. With that in mind, I pressed it into service by pairing it with something I'd normally pair with an Alsace wine, a teriyaki chicken, and it filled the role in admirable fashion.
Absolutely insane QPR wine at 11 bucks.

Delicious. Medium lemon in the glass, pronounced aromas and flavors, exotic fruit notes and citrus blossom, palate is dry and crisp, green apple, passion fruit, underripe stone fruit, note of cream, hint medicinal, wet rock minerality, bit hot mid palate (14.5), acidity high, full bodied, long finish.

Wow, what a QPR. I did not expect this at all. Great minerality, and light pear on the palate with a lingering finish. I am going to buy more.

Buttery like a Chardonnay, but without the oakiness.

Multiple varieties starting with Grenache Blanc
Very easy drinking
Lot of mineral, white fruit and controlled acidity. Intense mineral finish
