WOW! If you’ve followed me at all, you know I’m an unabashed lover of all things Navarro, and you likely know that I’m not alone in that feeling. It’s the continued, decades long commitment to quality that gets me, and it all comes together in this glass of crystalline beauty and purity. Full tilt Gewurztraminer intensity takes a sweet ride on perfectly managed botrytis, making for a dance of spiced apricot, honey and laser focused acidity that tames the sweetness and produces a finish that lasts until, well, tomorrow if you just let it hang there. Easily among the greatest dessert wines of the world — again! A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge. Sold in a 375ml bottle.
