Lazy Creek Gewürztraminer 2018

This Gewürztraminer offers refined tropical fruit and spice notes, with recent vintages showcasing lychee, mango, and citrus flavors. While some praise its elegant structure and comforting finish, others find older vintages unexpectedly dry and floral compared to expectations.

This Gewürztraminer from Lazy Creek presents a luminous pale gold hue, indicative of its aromatic intensity. The nose is a fragrant bouquet of lychee, rose petal, and ginger spice, underscored by a subtle hint of honeysuckle. On the palate, it reveals a lush, medium-bodied texture, balanced by vibrant acidity that enlivens its exotic fruit core. The finish is long and perfumed, with lingering notes of white pepper and citrus zest. This wine exemplifies the varietal's hallmark opulence and aromatic complexity, making it a quintessential expression of Gewürztraminer from this cool-climate region.
