Deep caramel color. Powerfully flavorful in apricot and honey. The cork was a bit crumbly, but nevertheless this wine has aged very well--even better than I had hoped. Totally delicious!

Cork was soft but intact. Color was nearly brown. Nose was apricot, caramel, and petrol (faint). Palate was lush, sweet, honey, grass. Was it good? It was good. Tingly acidity, but this might be past its prime.

It was good but not up to the standards I have seen before from Navarro. Straightforward and only mildly complex. It hits all the mandatory marks but doesn't exceed expectations. Tasty and well balanced. You could use this as a benchmark for dessert rieslings: It's good enough.

Rich yellow-gold in the glass with slow, thick legs. Honey on the nose, with sweet, stewed peaches, honey and orange on the palate. Medium-full body with a smooth, round texture. Medium-long finish. Very nice--if not super-complex--and a relative value.

Just an average cluster select. Sweet honey. Some acidity that keeps it from being to over the top. I'm with soyhead that the 10% LH Gewurtz is Navarro's best LH for '06.

20% residual sugar. nose - pineapple and flowers. mouth - first and foremost sweet. super sweet. Has acidity and all but cant get over the massive sugar. I preferred the 10% residual sugar 2006 late harvest Gewurtz

Oh this was lovely. We had a thee berry compote and ice cream with an Arrowwood Late Harvest Reisling that was good but not fantastic. Everyone (this was a "People We've Been on Wine Trips With" dinner) was still hankering a little something and a little something better. We had visited Navarro with one of our dinner companions, so this was in theme. Lovely honey, honeysuckle, stewed peach flavors, this wine was perfect finish. I have had $100 sauternes I didn't enjoy as much.

This is a real crowd pleasure. Poured with a simple dessert of vanilla ice cream and crumbled meringe. It lasted about 3 minutes. It may lack the complexity of Navarro's late harvest Gewürztraminer, but it is well built, with perfectly balanced fruit and acid. A lovely honey and jasmine bouquet.

Fantastic wine! Honeyed on the nose and palate. Not cloying at all. Satisfying finish. I would buy again.

Rich and sweet, with loads of orchard fruit, but the good acidity kept it lively enough. Very nice.

Again, just too sweet for my taste. I can only drink a sip at most and then i shut down. This one bottle will last me months.
