2006 D’Argenzio
Gewurztraminer California, Field Blend

Tasting Notes

Since we’re among friends, it’s okay to just call it “Ge-voorts”. This noble grape is well-known in Germany and Alsace, where it is produced in a range of styles from crisply dry to rich and sweet. Our Gewurztraminer has medium body with a whisper of sweetness.

The 2006 vintage presents a flamboyant array of aromas, true to the varietal. Scents of pear and lychee are accented with tones of honey, light jasmine and a sprinkling of white pepper. Sip this wine and you’re reminded of a tropical fruit salad highlighted by pear and pineapple. A characteristic spiciness adds dimension to the wine.

Gewurztraminer’s exotic flavors make it a good match with Thai food and other Asian cuisines, or chicken with mango salsa. We also like it in the afternoons, paired with a rich, creamy cheese.
