People donÕt think of California Gewurz as a serious wine, but this one is. From old, stressed grapevines on the Napa-Sonoma border, the flavors are dense and incredibly concentrated, suggested litchi, peach, honeysuckle, and all sorts of fruity nectars. Despite the massive size, itÕs on the dry side. This is a big wine that should not be served too cold.
