2019 Fetzer Gewürztraminer, California, Wine Review

This is an outstanding value in off dry wines. Golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is a bit candied with lychees, honeysuckle and slight peach notes. Slightly viscous texture. On the palate, this drinks very easy with lychees and peaches. Slight tannins. It improved with about 30 minutes of air. Long finish. This drinks great on its own for those who enjoy a bit of sweetness. It will work great with Thai or other spicy Asian foods. Drink over the next few years.

Mike Officer makes some really nice wines at fair prices. His whites might even be better values than his reds. This is a field blend of Gewürztraminer, Trousseau Gris, Riesling and other white grapes. Pale silvery gold in color. The nose is great with lychees, peaches and floral tones. On the palate, this is slightly viscous. Dry and refreshing. Peaches and slight pears with good minerality. Nice finish. This is drinking quite well now and it probably should be consumed over the next couple of years. It will go well with salads, sushi or even Thai food.

An interesting take of Gewurtz. Very different from the Alsatian counterparts. Light golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has no lychee at all which is fine just a bit surprising. It does have a floral quality to it, along with ginger and a strong mineral base. Very nice. On the palate, this is medium bodied. It is dry as a bone. The minerality comes thru along with a granny smith apple note and a bit of orange peel. Clean finish with no bitterness. Overall, it is a very nice wine that worked excellently with a butternut squash soup. It probably should be consumed in the n
