Fetzer Gewurztraminer


Name: Fetzer
Variety: Gewurztraminer
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2014
Price: $12, on sale for 8.95
Shop/Critic/Winery Review: 87 – Wine Enthusiast "A rainy minerality on the nose of this sweet wine manages to cut through the sugared oranges, honeysuckle and ripe, tropical white fleshed fruit, from peach to cherimoya. The palate is full of honeyed apples, white peach and pineapple, but the decent acidity and chalky element stops it short of treacly."

My impressions: Sugary nose. Maybe a little apple, peaches.  Tart and sweet, with pleasant acid and fruit qualities.  Tastes very similar to how it smells.  I'd like to try it with spicy food, but it's way too sweet for me to drink on its own.
