December 20, 2007 - I totally agree with the other notes here. This wine is totally Alsation in style. No way I would pick it out as a domestic Gewurtz. The pear is really obvious on the nose, and I am getting the honeydew, but wouldn't have been able to pick it out without HS's suggestion. The typical Lychee note is there as well, along with an all spice component as well. On the palate, it's still kind of tight and nervy, but it puts on weight as it warms in the glass. The palate is also heavy on the pear with hints of apple as well. The mouthfeel is also very pretty. I would love to see how this ages. I think it will put on even more weight with some bottle age. Nice Gewurtz coming form a region most of don't associate with that varietal. Makes you wonder what else is possible. A steal at $14.99. Thanks to HurrahSyrah for the tip on this one.

October 24, 2007 - Popped and poured. This wine exhibited a rich golden color in the glass. On the nose, rich, ripe aromas of bosch pears, honeydew melon, and lychee were met with notes of jasmine and spice. WOW! What a gorgeous nose. On the palate, extremely fresh tasting fruit flavors were present (bosch pears, white peaches, honeydew) and accentuated by notes of nutmeg, pepper and vanilla. There were also notes of minerality on this well balanced wine. The mouthfeel on this wine was viscous with a creamy texture. Absolutely rich styled Gewurz. Probably THE best domestic Gewurz I've ever had. HS94
