I did a head fake trying this wine, I had assumed it was going to be crisp and clean, and, of course, dry...I didn't expect the sweetness that perfectly balanced the acidity. Who is working with sugar to balance acid in the new world? Even in Germany folks are going drier. Besides admiring the courage to push in a different (delicious) direction, everything with the wine worked out great. Bravo.

Some pretty nice juicy gewurz. A bottle of this and some darts in the backyard in the perfect summer weather was a great way to start our first evening in our McMinnville airbnb. Potpourri, canned lychee and white peach, clean, stoney minerality, and some slight tarragon and Thai basil herbaceousness. Acidity is medium (-) to medium, which, compared to how low-acid and blowsy some other gewurztraminers can feel, feels downright lively. Medium (-) body, with oily, soft texture and off-dry in terms of RS. Perfect white for summer grillin'.
