Spicy, Tangy & Honeyed

2004 Covey Run
Gewurtztraminer
Columbia Valley, WA
$6.99
Jen’s Notes

This could be a nice choice for your house sweetie - good for an aperitif, good for dessert... pretty much any time you want a slightly sweet wine. I liked its subtle, honeyed aromas, which included an unexpected herbal note. The palate emphasized warm, sweet spices (like nutmeg and cardamom), and was a little tangy (think Lemon Meringue Pie) before finishing. This wine was pleasant and easy to drink, and just enough acidity to balance the honeyed sweetness. It lingers a bit, with some soft floral notes, and finishes clean.

HI guys,
Cathy was curious as to if you tried the Lopez Island bottle yet. She is interested in your opinion. I told her that if you didn't publish a review, it probably really sucked to a trained pallete and that you didn't want to tell us.

Let us know,

Thanks,

John and Cathy
