Straddles the line between dry and off-dry, and veers into the latter. Shows sweet flavors of citrus fruits, vanilla and meringue, like a pastry. Good, but palls after a few sips.——S.H.(9/1/2010)—— 83

A nice, rich Gewurztraminer that shows the spicy flavors and fruit you want in this varietal. The pineapple and apricot flavors are enriched by honeysuckle flowers and potent notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper and vanilla bean. Straddles the border between dry and off-dry.——S.H.(9/1/2009)—— 86

Gewurz fans, including sommeliers, should buy this by the case. It’s classic California, rich and zesty in acidity, with spice-tinged citrus, peach, vanilla and honeysuckle flavors. With an off-dry finish, it’s perfect for Asian fare.——S.H.(10/1/2008)—— 86

I like the varietal richness of this Gewurz. It shows powerful, classic tropical fruit and wildflower flavors, with potent cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and vanilla spices that dominate the finish. A bit soft, but a very nice wine for the price.——S.H.(10/1/2007)—— 85

Here’s a glassful of fruits, flowers and above all spices. Just slightly sweet, but with good acids, the wine bursts with white peach, pineapple, vanilla custard and honeysuckle flavors, and just about every Asian spice you can think of.——S.H.(11/1/2006)—— 84
