Description I haven’t tried all of this year’s output of Gewurztraminers, sometimes I think I’ve barely scratched the surface of the “G”-wines, but I would have to tell you, I have tasted quite a few over the years and this one brings a lot to the table without falling off the edge. To me, Gewurztraminer is a balancing act between spices and floral tones … go over the edge and you’ve over-loaded with overpowering rose petals, play it too safe and you end up delivering an oily, spicy mess with the viscosity of used motor oil. This Palatine Hills offering brings great aromas to the nose and just enough to the palate for tasty refreshment. Smells of florally rose petals, with hints of orange and spice. On the palate, it deals up a lovely balanced floral and spicy character with great balancing acidity. Price: $13.95 – Rating: ****½
