Chilled and opened about an hour before dinner and allowed to gently come to temp. Served alongside charcoal grilled Thai sausage, sticky rice, coconut Thai curry, herb salad, shallot, lime, garlic, chiles. Straw color, off-dry and a perfect pairing with the first course. Lychee, honey, white flowers and great acid. This is the kind of synergy you dream for in a wine pairing. Drink now but I expect this will drink well for a long time. Quite possibly the best experience I’ve ever had with Gewurztraminer. — 2 months ago

The 2021 Riesling Poet's Leap is decidedly green in character, wafting up with notes of lychee, lime zest and crushed green apple. This flows across the palate with grace, displaying a pleasant inner sweetness, as tropical citrus and saline-minerals add a lovely tension throughout. This tapers off with young mango notes accentuated by a salty flourish through the long and crisply refreshing finale. The 2021 is so balanced and refined, just 12.5% alcohol, and at just under one gram of residual sugar per liter. (Eric Guido, Vinous, March 2023) — 2 years ago

Gorgeous Gewurz nose of lychee, musky florals, and some clean mountain stream stones. Drier styled in the mouth. Upfront fruit and minerality, a little countering bitter component on the finish. Just about pitch perfect. — 3 months ago

A Gewurz for acid hounds. The Gewurz pungent florals are muted on the nose but there, along with a little musky, slightly underripe lychee. There’s a nice brightness to it. On the palate it’s bone dry, with very crisp fruit that has a distinctly bitter edge. The acids keep the bitterness from taking over. A distinctive rendition. — 2 years ago

Citrus fruits and lychee balanced with wet stone and minerals; medium body and sophisticated finish. — 3 years ago

Very good expression with the entertaining of lychee and other bright floral perfumes. Lacks the tension between freshness and botrytis of the best vintages — 6 months ago

Pineapple, papaya, lychee, durian, pear and lime. Tropical and viscous with a bit of funk. — a year ago

Loaded with aromas, rose, lychee, honey. Almost tastes like perfume with the tang on the sides of the tongue. The aroma leaps out of the glass. There is no hiding that this is a Gewurtztraminer. Enjoyable even if it isn’t for everyone. — 3 years ago

Youthful and aromatic with that lychee hitting right off the nose. Some stone fruit but mostly dry. RS 0.7 — 4 years ago
