Lovely aromas of lychees and white peach, with some spicy, floral notes as well, off-dry, nice acidity and balance, medium-long finish, very good Gewurz! — 10 months ago

I love Gewurz. I mostly drink it myself and with family members who enjoy it. My experience opening them with dinner guests who are unfamiliar with its unique smell/flavor profile is that they almost invariably dislike it because it’s so dissonant from their expectation of what white wine is supposed to be. Their loss!

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.

Classic Gewurztraminer 2013

Medium straw color. Aromas of lemon zest, white flowers, dried rose petals (faint) and slate. Palate is full of tropical fruit, unripe peach, pear, melon and ginger. A touch of RS but lovely acidity to balance it. Medium finish, body and alcohol. Great mouthfeel. Easy drinker. Aging beautifully! Thanks for sharing this one, Kevin Z. — 9 months ago

A little toward the semi-sweet but still a crispness and great lychee fruit throughout. — 3 years ago

Finger Lakes Gewurztraminer 2021

2022, medium dry. Very much a lush Gewurz. A bit on the sweeter side . Great with Thai. If you are unsure about the grape it’s not for you. But if you love GW you will love this. — 7 months ago
