Nice balance between acidity and fruit but a little too sweet for the overall structure. Good Gewürztraminer but not exceptional.

Great Grape... Great Vintage... Great Winemaker. Usually stubborn when it come to a Gewurz. I love it's light, floral aroma; So smooth you forget if you swallowed it. This one begs for A Spicy Asian Cuisine or a platter of oysters.

Lovely aromatics, needs a bit more acidity to counter the prominent sweetness.
