Pale white, excellent clarity. Spice in nose, Crisp finish with lingering tropical fruit and orchard fruit flavors. Lemon peel aftertaste. Navarro always delivers on the Alsatian varietals

Pale white, sparkling clarity. Grapefruit rind in nose with a hint of sulfite. Grapefruit flavor with orange finish, lactic aftertaste. Subtle but varietally on point. Slightly thick mouthfeel.

Pale yellow white, sparkling clarity. Floral, pine, vanilla, and orange notes in nose. Pineapple, orange, spice, good acidity, mineral finish, close to bone dry, some skin astringency on finish, citrus finish with slight bitterness. On point for variety, righteous dry Gewürtz here people. Gotta love it

Still a benchmark for California Gewürz. Cool climate expression with excellent focus, acidity and length. Lychee, tropical notes and ample spice character. Freshness and lift are impressive.

Tasted like it still had some residual sugar. Very fun and enjoyable, but I'm not sure I understand the hype

Really well done. A hard sell, but a delicious wine that would make a turkey dinner special.

Beautiful white pepper, strong acidity. Extremely refreshing alternative to sauv blanc or gruner.

2013- still the quintessential CA Gewurtztraminer. Orange blossom aromas, flavors of dried apricot, white pear, and a pleasant waxy finish that keeps it dry. Lovely.
