 Tasted by dlduchon on 3/28/2024 & rated 93 points: Amazing Gewurtztraminer, I don’t know what else I could ask for. Exotic and multidimensional. A pleasure to savor. (153 views)
 Tasted by dlduchon on 7/12/2023 & rated 94 points: Absolutely fantastic, with a nice chill showing off it’s a acidity. As it warmed the acidity became less pronounced and a touch of bitterness to counteract the sweetness worked to provide another dimension of flavor. This is truly a phenomenal Gewurztraminer and amazing for the price. (397 views)
 Tasted by FluffyGTX on 11/17/2022 & rated 92 points: Fantastisch, orangenblüte, toller grip, nicht zu süß. Top zu Thai. (563 views)
 Tasted by Dipet on 6/3/2022 & rated 89 points: Very rich , full body , oily Gewurtztraminer . Very intensive flavors and not less intensive palate. Very quality wine. A little bit not balanced , perhaps too young . (617 views)
 Tasted by Madera16 on 4/24/2021: With dinner at Riverside Korean w Angelo. Perfect pairing. A touch of sweetness, big body, overall characteristic gewurtz. Fit well. (878 views)
 Tasted by crewald on 4/21/2021: Had with grilled salmon. Probably not the greatest pairing. Lots of fruit, some residual sugar, high alcohol. Enjoyed it much more after we finished the meal. Complex. (758 views)
 Tasted by prasm on 1/25/2021 & rated 90 points: Pop and pour. Appearance: Clear, medium yellow. Nose: Clean, pronounced intensity, developing aromas of lychee, apricot, passion fruit, rose petal, and honey. Palate: Dry, medium- acid, high alcohol (14.5% abv), medium+ intensity, full bodied with a luscious creamy mouth-feel, finish is medium+ length.

Overall this is a very good wine excelling in balance, intensity, and length while the complexity, dominated by primary citrus and tropical fruit characteristics, is lacking just a bit. While still dominated by primary fruit characteristics this wine is starting to show some tertiary development as noted with a slight honey character on the nose and palate. Can drink now, but has potential for further aging. (762 views)
 Tasted by Es7e2003 on 11/29/2020 & rated 91 points: Gorgeous nose filled with lychee, white flowers and tropical fruits. The alcohol was a little overpowering for me at 14.5%. (720 views)
 Tasted by nisid on 11/26/2020 & rated 92 points: Had with apple crisp on Thanksgiving. (549 views)
