Featherstone Winery 2007 Gewurztraminer

DescriptionDescription  With each and every vintage I wait with baited breath to see what Dave Johnson (winemaker for Featherstone) is going to impress me with next. Last year it was an old vines Riesling, this year it's gotta be this outstanding Gewurtraminer. Floral and spicy with lots of rose petal on both the nose and in the mouth. The awesome nose reels you in and the only way to deal with it is to just sip away while you’re sniffing. In the mouth, there's the typical oily texture that is common to Gewurztraminer, but it really only becomes apparent if you keep it in your mouth for an extended stay – otherwise it glides smoothly through ... there’s also just the right amount of sweetness in here. Beauty.
