The 2010 Gewurztraminer is flat-out great. Light floral honey notes meld into white flowers, passion fruit and lime in this expressive, beautifully balanced wine. I love the textural richness and sheer depth in this classy, understated wine. The 2010 Gewurztraminer is a striking wine for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.

The 2009 Gewurztraminer is a rich, textured wine graced with notable richness in its passion fruit, ginger, spices and jasmine. This is full of varietal character, while the rich, creamy finish invites a second taste, all of which adds up to a terrific entry-level Gewurztraminer. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2013. This is a terrific set of entry-level wines from Tramin. The whites see only steel and do not undergo malolactic fermentation. A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel.

The 2008 Gewurztraminer is utterly delicious and balanced in a richly-textured expression of passion fruit, mango, sweet baking spices and molasses. The finish is long, broad and incredibly refined for a wine at this level. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012. This is a brilliant set of entry-level wines from Tramin, a cooperative that boasts more than a century of winemaking history.

The 2007 Gewurztraminer is clean and focused in its exotic notes of passion fruit, spices and flowers. It is the only wine of this group which undergoes malolactic fermentation, which adds a further dimension of depth. It remains incredibly pure and vibrant in the glass. I suppose it’s only fitting that part of the fruit for this wine is sourced from vineyards in Termeno, where Gewurztraminer was first discovered. This wine is a steal for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010. I was particularly impressed with the value-priced wines I tasted from Tramin this year. Tramin is a cooperative with an astonishing 290 members and 575 acres under vine, dimensions which are virtually unheard of in Italy. Coops are fairly common in this part of Italy, and that arrangement is in no way a reflection on quality, a point these wines make quite eloquently. Tramin’s first vintage goes all the way back to 1899, a lineage few wineries today can match. All of these bottlings come from the local DOCs. The whites are aged exclusively in stainless steel, while the reds see some oak. Simply put, this is a beautiful set of entry-level wines. A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel.
