Dowsett Family Wines Gewurztraminer 07
Treasure your bottles of the Dowsett Family Gewurztraminer 07, if you can get any. Chris Dowsett was winemaker at Lattitude 46 until last year, when he became the winemaker for Artifex, a winery where very small (one barrel) wines are made for boutiques.
When not running Artifex, Chris has his own label, Dowsett Family, and it's here that he continues to show his magic with white wines. If you're hoarding your last few bottles of his Gewurztraminer from Lattitude 46, the Dowsett 07 is your chance to stock up.
The Dowsett Family Gewurztraminer 07 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."
