Light yellow color. The reticent nose provides some lychee, peach, and oxidative notes. The tired palate provides some lychee, ginger, and peach flavors with a little bitterness in the midpalate. This wine is light bodied with moderate acidity, but it is clearly past its prime. The alcohol pokes throught with fruit and the wine seems slightly oxidized. Overall, I waited too long to drink this, and although it is not dead, it is clealy faded.

Napa-Noma Trip: This is Martinelli's Dry Gewurztraminer. Spicy Gewurz nose with lychee nut fruit. Medium-bodied weet fruit cocktail with dry, slightly bitter flavors in the finish. Okay.

Nice with ginger-marinated Opah, and Miso soup with shittakes and tofu....

Vanilla aroma with mandarin orange and nutmeg spice on finish. Tastes like alsace gewurtz but not as strong.
