The 2009 Gewurtztraminer gives intense tropical fruit and rose petal aromas with some pear drops and a slight lemon lift. Full bodied and medium-dry (12.5 grams per liter of residual sugar), it has a medium level of acid and a little phenolic grip in the long, spicy finish. This is one to drink now while it’s so vibrant. Importer: South Pacific Wines, New York, NY; tel. (646) 206 5083
