User Reviews for Firestone Gewürztraminer Santa Ynez Valley
Add your reviewGentle fruit tastes to this wine - you can enjoy the flavor without it being overpowering. Very mild to no aftertaste, and not bitter or spicy at all. It was a little bold direct-from-the-bottle, but smoothed out nicely as it was aired.
Nice acidity with smoothness. Good balance of sweet and continued drinkablility.
Light yellow with a green tinge and citrus blossoms and minerals on the nose, the delivery followed up nicely if a touch short on the tongue and in the finish. Definitely some tangerine and pineapple. Pretty dry (about 0.5% residual sugar), small mouth feel and some decent acid to make the mouth water. Not a bad example but one that is lacking a little something, maybe should have opened it up earlier. Would probably be enhanced if eaten with a spicy food like a Thai curry. Probably peaking now so if you have a bottle open it and enjoy it in the heat wave.

Wine Tasting NotesOur Gewrztraminer begins with a vivid bouquet of mandarin orange, rose petal and honey. Rich, elegant flavors of melon and pineapple are accompanied by accents of nutmeg and litchi. Crisp acidity strikes an exquisite balance with just a hint of sweetness and spice at the finish.

Winemaker's Notes:
This is an ideal sipping wine, with alluring notes of lychee, mandarin orange and nutmeg on the nose. Citrus flavors of grapefruit and bergamot emerge on the mouth, which is enlivened by a compelling acid note. Quenching citrus notes balance nicely with hint of sweetness on a clean, refreshing finish.
