Tasting - Fetzer Gewurztraminer

Name: Fetzer Gewurztraminer
Variety: 100% Gewurztraminer
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $7.79

Winery Review: Passion fruit along with tangerine, mango and aromas of honey and orange spice join with pineapple, baked pears and hints of cinnamon. This wine can be zesty, and flavors of clove, orange and caramelized apples are evident.


My Review:
This was a very interesting wine. I had been looking forward to trying a Gewurztraminer for a long time. The nose had some notable fruit on it with a distinct floral component. I get honeyed apricot and peach. The taste has some orange citrus with apples springing forward. There is some nice acidity coming through and finishes smooth. It is on the sweeter side with 3.2% residual sugars but it is not too much. Very enjoyable white wine.
