Fetzer Gewürztraminer Valley Oaks 2007

A fine sweet white wine. Very similar to a standard riesling.

A very nice white wine. It is sweet enough to drink as a desert wine yet spicy enough to pair well with foods. I enjoy the fact that in this example there is nary a flavor of oak anywhere. It is an excellent wine to introduce those who don't usually care for wine. It is a wonderful change from the wines I drink more frequently. Just bear in mind I also happen to like Port. As you might guess sweet tastes don't offend me.

Initially sweet on the nose, with a little spice. A little too sweet, actually. Still friendly and drinkable. A little more acid or spicy flavors would bring much more depth and interest to this.

Fans of our Fetzer Gewurztraminer won't be disappointed with this vintage. Rich, fruity and clean aromas of orange spice join with pineapple, baked pears and hints of tell-tale cinnamon. The wine can be zesty, and flavors of clove, orange and caramelized apples come to the fore. One wine writer described our Gavurz as a 'Two WoW Experience: great tasting and great energy.' I like that.

Wine Tasting NotesThe wine is a deep golden straw color, with a nose of dried apricot, spicy peach, with a touch of rose petal and honeysuckle. The crisp green apple, honeyed apricot and peach flavors meld with the traditional spicy flavors of Gewurztraminer. This medium-bodied wine's off dry style strikes the perfect balance between its sweetness and bright crisp acidity. A versatile wine, it pairs nicely with spicy Asian cooking as well as grilled chicken and fish.

Not my favorite Gavurtz. Clear, yellow. Slight sweet lemon nose with some tropical fruit. Very little acid on palate with a sweet tropical fruit cocktail taste. Not well balance, alcohol comes through too much but not hot.
