The Humbrechts believe 1997 is the greatest Gewurztraminer vintage since 1990, with the possible exception of 1994. Readers who crave ostentatious Gewurztraminers will flip for Zind-Humbrecht's flamboyant 1997s.Offering elegant, detailed aromas of minerals and flowers, the medium-to-full-bodied 1997 Gewurztraminer Herrenweg de Turckheim is a highly expressive yet refined wine. It offers copious quantities of red berries, juicy apricots, roses, and papaya in its lovely, concentrated personality. Enthrallingly, this silky-textured wine combines purity with power. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2006.Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524.
