The 2013 Hommage A l'Alsace is a field blend of aromatic varietals - Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Muscat, Riesling and Pinot Noir, all planted in 2002 - naturally co-fermented. It is elegantly scented of white peaches, lemon and lime blossoms with a hint of mandarin peel. The palate reveals a lovely delicate character with a satiny texture and going yeasty / minerally in the long finish.

The 2009 Hommage a l'Alsace is a field blend of Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer and Muscat grown in a mixed planting within a single vineyard. It reveals a moderate intensity of floral aromas, honeysuckle and orange blossom, plus peaches, pears and apples and a spicy undercurrent. Light to medium bodied, crisp and dry, the palate is layered with discernable notes of peaches and spices, dill and fennel seed, finishing long. I love it! It's delicious now though it seems a style that should age well, continuing to cellar to 2015+. Importer: Infinity Imports LLC, Los Angeles, CA; tel. (213) 613-1698; fax (866) 941-4543
