m. cosentino gewurztraminer (yountville)

點擊次數：1553

Fruity, flowery, intense and enormously spicy. Cinnamon, nutmeg, coriander, cardamom and white pepper dance on the palate. Finishes nicely dry; a complex table wine. ——S.H.(10/1/2005)—— 88

Enormously fragrant, a wine that puts out an amazing array of aromatics. Spicy gingerbread, honeysuckle, vanilla, smoky caramel, baked apple, pie crust, you name it. It’s as flavorful as it smells, but totally dry, with crisp acidity. Brilliant.——S.H.(6/1/2004)—— 91

Yountville is a cooler part of Napa, and you can taste the acid tanginess, but it’s also a lush wine that brims with exotic fruit and flower flavors that persist into a honeyed finish. Barrel fermentation will satisfy Chardonnay fans who demand creaminess. Vietnamese food would be a nice match. ——S.H.(6/1/2002)—— 86

The scent of well made Gewurz always comes as a shock. So much flower, gingery spice, grapefruit and honey, sometimes even a tinge of botrytis. This beauty startle with its aromas, then calms down in the mouth to offer pleasant citrus flavors softened by a honeyed texture. But it's bone-dry.——S.H.(12/1/2001)—— 87
