Larson Family Winery, Carneros (Sonoma County, California) Gewurztraminer 2016

Feb 20, 2018

By Michael Franz

 A very good rendition of Gewurztraminer, this shows classic aromas of rose petal and backs them up with rich flavors and a notably spicy finishing kick.  It is faintly sweet, but pleasantly so, and the acidity (notoriously low in this grape variety) is well above the global average.  Moscato lovers, take note:  Here’s a departure from your norm that you might enjoy even more.  A Double Gold award winner at the 2018 Toast of the Coast Wine Competition.
