Réserve Alsace Gewürztraminer 2018

It’s no wonder Gewurztraminer is one of the four noble grape varieties in Alsace, France. 👏👏👏 It’s uniquely expressive, perfumed, rich, and oily with youthful and pronounced aromas 👃 of lychee, açaí, papaya, mango, pineapple, also sweet spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and rose, stargazer lily, elderflower, and wet stone. 🤩🤩🤩

👁 This wine is deep gold. 👄 It’s dry with a modicum of residual sugar. It has medium acidity, a medium(+) body, medium alcohol, and pronounced flavors, consistent with the nose, including notes of lychee, açaí, papaya, mango, pineapple, also sweet spices of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and rose, stargazer lily, elderflower, and wet stone. The finish is medium(+).

We’ve paired this wine with grilled vegan brats and roasted zucchini.

Albert Boxler, Gewurztraminer, Vintage 2018, ABV 13.5% (on the cusp of high alcohol).

Cheers to it almost being the weekend(?)!

One of my fave producers- always deep, nuanced but prices have become more prohibitive over the years, especially the Rieslings- May I ask how much your bottle was?@Vanessa

@Peter Sultan Of course! The price was $37.00. I bought it directly from Kermit Lynch’s e-commerce site.

Thanks@Vanessa ! Before Kermit, Boxler was part of Robert Chadderdon’s portfolio, before he sold it- his prices were rigidly set for Boxler. But these are exquisite wines, if not several notches more expensive, I think.

Gut Oggau

Emmeram Gewürztraminer 2020

It’s like walking through a elderflower, chamomile, honeysuckle forest with a granite stream of water underneath. There’s also lychee, pear, peach, some more flowers. There’s an underlying tropical/floral shrub character on finish. I could smell for days. Outstanding and lived up to hype. Best Gewürztraminer I’ve had. — 2 years ago

Réserve Alsace Muscat

Slight diesel starting on the nose. Elderflower on the nose. Floral, grassy — being a little bit tart (sour gooseberry) at the end is the only downside — 4 years ago

Pattes Loup (Thomas Pico)

Vent d'Ange Chablis Chardonnay

On the nose : Fresh honeysuckle with a touch of elderflower, broiled lemon, soft cheddar and bubbling spring with roasted pear which follows through on the palate with the elderflower and the honeysuckle, as well as young kiwi. Has almost a sake like texture with encompassing weight but is light at the same time. The weight dissipates while the flavor lingers. High acidity that is incredibly balanced — 4 years ago

Cloudy Bay

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Pale lemon colored, the 2020 Cloudy Bay is a bit more restrained than recent vintages and offers fresh aromas of asparagus, green bell pepper, gooseberry, elderflower, lemon zest, yellow apple, white peach and a dash of smoke. On the palate, the spiky acidity lends this medium bodied Sauvignon Blanc a vibrant freshness alongside a juicy finish. Drink now until 2024 — 2 years ago

Lucido Catarratto 2019

Pale gold in colour. Black olives, yellow pears, and elderflower on the nose. Wet stones are there also. The salinity and fleshiness of black olives pops up on the palate, as well as a bit past overripe yellow pears and a tinge of balsamic sweetness. — 4 years ago

Gabriel Meffre

Saint-Vincent Côtes-du-Rhône White Rhone Blend 2019

I really like this wine. It has a good mouth feel, some sweetness but not too much, juicy with a dry finish. There’s a lightness to it but also some structure. It’s quite elegant. Notes of elderflower. — 4 years ago
