Fetzer Vineyards 'Shaly Loam' Gewürztraminer 2016 Review
This is classic, aromatic, fruit-driven Gewürztraminer with an off-dry palate. Plenty of yellow peach, apricot, tangerine, and lavender honey waft from the glass, while the medium-bodied balance adds in herbal spice. Just enough acidity balances that fruit and sugar.
