First Gewürztraminer I've had in years. I remain unimpressed. An odd panoply of grapefruit, lime, lemon, raspberries, thyme and, especially, roses (seriously, did they dump rose water in the barrels?). That sounds pleasant. It's not. There's a level of acidity that simply overwhelms the palate, bring back memories of poorly made lemonade that kids try to sell to sympathetic neighbors. Maybe too young, but I won't be revisiting later to find out. 80 points.
