This has a darkish color of honey. Pretty nose of acacia trees, dried apricots and honey. Oily and aged with subtle flavors of peach blossoms, citrus and honey and then a gripping acidity kicks in which lifts the wines to a nice, spicy, floral finish with notes of flinty minerals. Quite interesting how this has aged and excellent with food.

This is really beginning to mature and showing a molasses color. Interesting nose of lychee and apricot with some floral spice. Quite deep and intense for a Gewurtz with flavors of honey, apricot and madeira. Finishes with a nice, spicy minerality and plenty of petrol. I wouldn't want to drink Gewurtz much more mature than this.

A really tasty and full bodied Cali Gewurz with delicious flavors of lychee and tangerine. Tastes packed and seems like it could still improve with time. 91+

I don't want to rate this as it would be a total guess on my part but I did enjoy this wine. I haven't had a Gewurtraminer in years. This bottle was a gift from friends and it went quite nicely with sweet potato curry soup with crab. It was not as sweet as I remember these wines. Seemed nicely balanced with a hint of apricot.

Yellow gold color with just a tinge of pink. Nose a bit subdued. Somewhat typical gewurtztraminer flavors but somewhat fruit-forward with the lychee more pronounced, some nutmeg and just a bit of rose - mainly on the finish. Dryer than I was expecting for a new world wine. I've never had this wine before but I wonder if it might benefit from a bit of aging.

My system (nose mouth finish) +/+, this is what I was expecting from a wine this age, typical petrol poking though with citrus and lychee

Very dense for a Gewurtz with flavors of lychee and peach. Quite intense and concentrated with floral notes on the spicy finish. Still needs time.

Deep golden color. Great floral nose and ripe stone fruit. Needs food. Spicy seafood dish goes great!

At the Square: smelled ripe and sweet, but on the palate wholly dry and finished abuptly - nice, though

Oz Farm Slow Dinner--Late Summer 2006 (Point Arena, CA): Steely and bone-dry gewurz, with less of a sweet impression than most local gewurz wines. Medium straw color. Broad citrus aromas, and palate.

Very intense fruit,almost too much. I think this wine will be better with a little more time in bottle.
