McMinnville Gewürztraminer

Yellow white, excellent clarity. Light initially on aroma. Dry to semi-dry, subtle, just enough acidity. Some spice and lychee flavors

Nov 22nd, 2018Pale white in color. Lychee, floral and spice in nose, honey, lychee and spice flavors in mouth, pineapple and a touch of bitterness in finish. Good acidity, still showing varietal character. Fruit has faded since last tasting 11 months ago. Drink now, preferably with food.

Gorgeous lavender, lychee aromas with hints of rose petals & cashews. Lovely elegant mouthfeel. Seamless waves of fruit and subtle acidity make it well rounded and balanced. Beautiful wine.

@HylandEstates So many Gewürztraminer miss the the mark badly, but if you want the perfect example of it, being done correctly this wine is it! Fresh summer ripe peaches, orange peel zest and spice, vibrant minerality and plumbed w/ acid providing great balance!
