After a fairly disappointing lineup of BC Gewurztraminers this vintage, I was impressed to see the concentration of this Gewurztraminer (93%) with a splash of Muscat. It's full-blo wn fragrant on the nose -- rose scented cold cream, lychee, honey, orange blossoms and exotic spice with a grapey core. The palate is oily and intense -- it is undoubtedly a sweeter wine but it has a good smack of acidity to cleanse the palate. Exceptionally flavourful and a finish that trails exotic spice and rose oil flavours. Pair with pate, Alsatian cheese and caramelized onion tart, holiday ham and turkey or spicy vegetarian curries. Score - 90. (Daenna Van Mulligen, winescores.ca, Nov. 6, 2012) Show more
