2007 Gewurtztraminer

We are now releasing our 2007 Gewurtz. This year we made a blend of one Oregon Vineyard (Dauenhauer near Dayton in the Willamette Valley from which we also get some Riesling for one of our single vineyard Riesling) and two Washington Vineyard (Pearson on Snipe Mountain and Solstice on the Snipe road bench both in the Yakima Valley). The intent was to bring some cooler climate (Willamette Valley) element in our Gewurtz thus reducing the final alcohol in the wine, increasing acidity and increasing varietal flavors. I think we got it right and the wine is much closer to my vision than the 2006 vintage. By the way, the 2007 just got Best Of Class at the LA wine and spirit competition, so others are noticing…

I am curious, what is your favorite Gewurztraminer?
