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.
