Finger Lakes Gewürztraminer

Nose is appropriately pungent, with musky florals, a little lychee, and a surprisingly fragrant mist of slightly bitterish minerals. Dry in the mouth, it’s a bit leaner than the nose suggests. Loads of stony minerals and good acids in the somewhat bitter but refreshing finish. Thanks to my brother for this.

Jul 14th, 2024A Gewurz for acid hounds. The Gewurz pungent florals are muted on the nose but there, along with a little musky, slightly underripe lychee. There’s a nice brightness to it. On the palate it’s bone dry, with very crisp fruit that has a distinctly bitter edge. The acids keep the bitterness from taking over. A distinctive rendition.

I'm light on motivation for notes tonight, but rest assured this is phenomenal. There are lots of grapes that really shine in the FLX, but I believe Gewürztraminer has found its true home. Even better than the last bottle several months back, citrus and spice makes everything nice!

Apr 17th, 2020A Gewurz for people who don’t think they like Gewurz. The nose has musky Gewurz lychee-ness, but tempered with phenolics and some nice minerality. In the mouth it’s quite dry, with richness of flavor but it’s balanced with nice acids and has a crisp mineral texture. Long finish.
