Appelation: Washington State
Blend: 100% Gewurztraminer
Retail Price: $20 | Cases: 60
Tasting Notes
A non-traditional style of Gewurztraminer that was barrel-fermented until bone-dry in neutral French Oak. Full malolactic created a wine with lush tropical fruits such as mango, papaya and citrus on the nose, and a lush mouthfeel that still retains firm acidity. Baked apple and almond are prevalent flavors, and the finish is crisp and lemony. 100% French Oak. $20
Production Notes
The fruit was sourced from St. Antoine Vineyard near Lake Chelan, and clearly showcases the varietal characteristics of a cool-climate grape grown in a high latitude, high quality viticulture area. 60 cases produced.
Wines Northwest, March 2010
A wine of the Week! This wine leans toward the elegant side with a light aroma of vanilla, floral perfume and cherry/berry. The palate offers similar flavors with notes of citrus and dark chocolate as well.
