Alexander Valley Vineyards
Mendocino County Gewürz Gewürztraminer



Outstanding dry style American Gewurz, especially for the $. Medium gold with pink reflections and medium plus viscosity. Mega aroma bomb, smells of leechie, sweet ruby red grapefruit, potpourri and lemon verbena. On the palate, this wine tastes like perfume smells: potpourri, lemon zest, a mouth coating oiliness followed by crisp acidity. finish is long, you feel like your exhaling potpourri for a minute or so after. Went profoundly well with sage butternut and chanterelle pizza. definitely a sipper. Drink with water on side.

Aromatic nose leads to off-dry wine on the palate. On the simpler side.

A dry-style Gewurz with a fruit-forward, floral, fragrant nose. Drier on the palate. Silky mouthfeel with the floral notes carrying through. -- Wineshout.com

Pale color, with aromas of peach, pear, and apricot. Medium body, slightly sweet entry, tropical flavors, also some citrus (lemon, grapefruit) flavors, some pleasant spicy notes (not heavy on spice). Good kick of acidity keeps it going. A great food wine.
