Honeyed peach, canned pineapple,
orchard blossoms, candied floral notes. Not at all super oxidized like a lot of southern Rhône wines can fall victim to.

2013 vintage. Hazelnuts and citrus fruits prominent. Doesn't quite hit the notes. Acidity is nice and freshness on a long finish. Very good. — 11 years ago

Nice red, black fruit and cola notes. Savory herbs and organic earth mid-palate and on the finish. High alcohol takes it out of balance a bit. Needs time. — 11 years ago

Who doesn't unfortunately? Leflaive (08!) Ramonet, Piuze (on a 2010!), etc. What is going on in Burgundy?

Belle de Nuit Central Coast Gewürztraminer 2019

Chasing my chaotic self-administered pandemic hair chopping with a Gewurtz from Arroyo Seco which seems to me apropos as I imagine the region as wind-swept and tousled. This wine is not so much and that is a good thing. All is in harmony. There is just the right amount of everything and it hits you in order—the lychees are followed by a green lawn leading to the flower garden full of roses and gardenias all spirited along by a nice amount of acid and powered by a prickling tannin. I’m not normally the biggest Gewurtz fan but I’d reach for this a second time. I’d maybe even pair it with a “hard to pair” thing like artichoke. Something about the floral nature of both I think could line up. Is that crazy? Maybe. But this is coming from someone who just used her kitchen scissors to give herself an intentionally asymmetrical haircut. — 5 years ago
