2016 Vista Verde Vineyard Late Harvest Gewürztraminer

The rich color of this wine evokes visions of liquid gold. The exotic aromas give way to notes of poached pear, cardamom, and vanilla bean. Apricot and frangipane add another interesting layer in the profile. The classic Gewürztraminer nose of rose petals ties everything together and provides elegance and lift. On the palate, the wine immediately has great presence and mouthfeel, and is like an elixir. Balanced with just enough acidity, flavors of peaches and cream, and shortbread cookie come through on the finish. This is the perfect companion to a stone fruit tart with cardamom ice cream. Enjoy!
