Pale straw hue with aromas of peach, apricot, pineapple, an a hint of lime!
Palate--Scintillating *"spritzig" on the tongue, with a less than stellar acidity although adequate. Ample flavors of stone fruit and tropical fruits. Super quick minerally finish.
This Washington state Gewurz is not the best Ste. Michelle has made. This is tepid both in structure and complexity and the palate profile is weak. It is still tasty, (because I am a big fan of the grape) but this one would be better served chilled down as an aperitif rather than as a food wine.
Even at $9 I would pass on this particular vintage but Ste. Michelle makes solid, quality wine over all so give them another chance!
*spritzig is German for sparkling (natural carbonation)
