Wine Tasting: Fetzer Gewurztraminer

Name: Fetzer Gewurztraminer
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2014
Price: Regular $12 on sale $8.95

Winery Review: 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 Review: Wet rocks on the nose, kind of flinty with an aroma of sweet fruits and flowers. On the palate the fruits come through much stronger; apples, peaches, and pineapple are all present. Very crisp on the palate due to its medium acidity.

I did not have this wine with food.
