| | Tasted by SewaneeTiger on 11/10/2018 & rated 87 points: A lot of honey, flowers and fruit but these overpowering the spice and acidity. A little alcohol on the end. would have been better a few years back likely. Still not a tasty gewurtz, if a bit long in the tooth. (1747 views) |
| | Tasted by Woland on 8/18/2017 & rated 85 points: The fruit is delicate and would be very enjoyable if it was not for 14% alcohol, which it can't stand up to. Mostly hot. (2355 views) |
| | Tasted by FoxStreet55356 on 8/5/2017: - Light gold color. (2164 views) |
| | Tasted by chitowncdpguy on 12/2/2016: Really nice. Robust, enticing nose that follows through on the palate. Great pairing with Vermont Creamery Bijou and Spanish Rillettes. (2562 views) |
| | Tasted by jeffclavier on 10/12/2016 & rated 88 points: Nothing memorable, but fine for a casual drink (2242 views) |
| | Tasted by thelostverse on 10/21/2015 & rated 87 points: I should have finished these a few years ago when they were hitting on all cylinders. This still has a fairly powerful nose of spice and florals, but the palate was considerably lacking. Drink up. (2499 views) |
| | Tasted by AllRed on 7/3/2015 & rated 88 points: Lychee, melon and floral qualities. Nright acidity on the palate; lively and focused- not as rich or heavy as some Gewurtraminers can be. Loads of Gewurtz spice on the finish. There's a slight sharp quality on the finish that I find distracting. (2270 views) |
| | Tasted by tcosgriff on 1/6/2015 & rated 88 points: Yellow color with a bouquet and flavor typical of the grape, combining lychee nuts and grapefruit. Better that the previous bottle with more definition and depth. Pleasant if not exciting. (2564 views) |
| | Tasted by odds on 12/3/2014: It is a good option for qpr bottle or half bottle at restaurant. Had with some fish at DC. (2574 views) |
| | Tasted by jeffal66 on 4/27/2014 & rated 88 points: Likable nose, medium body, medium acidity. Full with herbal notes, spice, pear and lychee. Dependable, as always. An everyday Gewurz, albeit a very good one. (3002 views) |
| | Tasted by pipegarcia on 4/21/2014 & rated 90 points: Amarillo intenso y brillante en copa, transparente. Excelente carga floral, especias con destellos de mineralidad, melocotón y manzana verde. Sedoso y cremoso en boca con buena carga ácida pero con esa mezcla dulce que distingue esta uva. Postgusto mediano. Excelente para parearlo con crustáceos o suchi. Año 2009. (2277 views) |
| | Tasted by eluebchow on 12/12/2013 & rated 89 points: While I'll admit this isn't my favorite varietal, I enjoyed this version with its pleasant flavors of tangerine, lychee and lemon peel, with a mineral-tinged finish (2553 views) |
| | Tasted by flwino on 12/6/2013 & rated 89 points: great nose of apricot and apple
Perfect color

| | Tasted by thelostverse on 10/21/2013 & rated 91 points: I can't keep my hands off of these. Similar notes as previous bottles - this is just so nice. Drinking well now. (2237 views) |
| | Tasted by chitowncdpguy on 10/19/2013: Nice wine but terrible pairing idea on my part. Did not go with portuguese peas at all. (1710 views) |
| | Tasted by rdk8 on 9/26/2013 & rated 90 points: Great wine -- pale straw color, floral nose, slightly sweet but not cloying, a nice bit of minerality, good mouthfeel. (1908 views) |
| | Tasted by danstrings on 9/22/2013 & rated 89 points: Great solid, clean, crowd pleasing lychee-tinged Gewurtz. (1512 views) |
| | Tasted by chitowncdpguy on 8/14/2013: I hope I can get more of this. Excellent pairing with bacon and squash soup. Floral nose, some white fruit, a lot of chalky minerality. Gorgeous. (1620 views) |
| | Tasted by vines4humanity on 8/4/2013 & rated 89 points: I'm so sad this wasn't the tasty gewurty that I had with a souffle many beautiful nights ago. (1429 views) |
| | Tasted by thelostverse on 7/12/2013 & rated 91 points: Third time I've had this in the last 45 days. This bottle keeps morphing on me as this one had similar notes as last two bottles, but also had floral notes that surprised me. Very nice. (1638 views) |
| | Tasted by ziavino on 6/21/2013 & rated 90 points: Fruit-forward bartlett pear nose, with loads of freshly cut pear and apple on the palate. Framed by good acidity, and a smoky note on the finish brings depth. (1516 views) |
| | Tasted by tcosgriff on 6/10/2013 & rated 85 points: Yellow color with a bouquet and flavor that made it just recognizable as a Gewürztraminer. No depth or nuance. Nevertheless, easy to drink. (1012 views) |
| | Tasted by dkstar1 on 6/3/2013 & rated 82 points: Bummer. The nose starts nice with calendula and floral soapy notes but reveals heavy tones of rubbing alcohol and petrol. Taste is very bitter...dried out orange rind. Disappointing because I've had it cellared perfectly for a year since purchased at retail and expected more. Flawed perhaps. (1689 views) |
| | Tasted by thelostverse on 5/29/2013 & rated 90 points: CWM dinner at Thai Cuisine. Second night in a row with this wine, but this time with Thai food. I thought this was actually better without the food. Notes of lychee and spice and a hint of smoke on the back end. (1626 views) |
| | Tasted by AllRed on 5/28/2013 & rated 91 points: Yellow color. Notes of lychee and gooseberry on the nose and palate. Stone, mineral and Gewurz spice on the finish. Nice acidity. (1555 views) |
