Review:

The best Gewurztraminer in North America? If not, show me what is!

2010 Vintage Tasting Notes

The Dowsett Family Gewurztraminer 2010 has scents of carnation, white peach and lychee. The flavors are of peach and citrus, with a silky texture and a refreshing finish of fruit, and minerals.

Rated "Outstanding" by Wine Press Northwest magazine:

"Chris Dowsett spent years at Canoe Ridge Vineyard in Walla Walla, which focused its Gewurz project in the Columbia Gorge, so he knows this acclaimed 24-year-old site in Underwood, Wash. The stunning results, achieved with 0.5% residual sugar, prompted one judge to comment "the Northwest goes to Alsace." Wonderful floral characters of rose water, honeysuckle, pears and mango gush out on the palate with more tropical notes. Grapefruity midpalate acidity and a citrus pith finish make this a marvelous wine."
