2009 Vista Verde Vineyard Late Harvest Gewürztraminer

With little botrytis from this extremely ripe and concentrated wine, the aromas of cinnamon, roasted almonds, tree-ripened nectarines and peaches, toasted marshmallows and roses dominate the nose. Those ripe stone fruit and jammy flavors were retained during the very cold fermentation that took place in 100% new French oak barrels. The mouth watering acidity helps to cut through the syrupiness that most late harvest wines display.  The long, mouth watering finish goes on forever to complete the experience.
