Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: May 22, March 7, January 4 and December 16.

Tasting note:

A seductive white with rose petal and lychee aromas. It's classic Gewurztraminer but not over the top. Lovely balance, finesse and a long spice-infused finish. Wonderful! Food matches: tandoori chicken, spot prawns, sunomono salad, pork and fruit dishes.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Our Gewurztraminer is grown entirely in our Tinhorn Creek Vineyard on the Golden Mile Bench. It is located at the top of the vineyard adjacent to the mountain and benefits from the heat radiating off of the rocks in the evenings. The 2009 Gewurztraminer was the first of our wines to be harvested on September 16 & 17, 2009 and was 100% handpicked. It was cold fermented in two stainless steel tanks over the course of one month before being bottled in March 2010.
