Review:

This 100% Gewurztraminer by Ray Walsh at Capitello has been a favorite of Avalon's for several vintages running. It offers spot-on varietal perfume of rose petal, cinnamon, apricot and persimmon. The glyceril texture on the palate carries sweet apricot and tangerine fruits that, while very sweet, have a tangy edge to them. After the spice notes appear, a lemon component rides in on the long and bright finish. Put this one away for ten years and watch it develop. - Avalon Wine

2008 Vintage

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Made by Ray Walsh, who was winemaker at King Estate from 1992 to 2005, this is a spectacular dessert wine, rich yet well balanced, with lovely fresh crisp acidity offsetting lush peach and apricot flavors to make a wine that is never cloying, superb with rich triple creme cheeses, fresh fruit, or try with roasted pecans.

Beautiful golden color, while offering aroma's of honey apricots nectarines, an intense floral-perfume. In the mouth, this wine is sweet, round and yet balanced with its acidity and explodes with fruit flavors apricot, peach and honeysuckle and a smooth lingering finish.
