Rich and alluring with notes of ripe stone fruit, baked apple and a drizzle of chestnut honey throughout. Full and viscous in the mouth but lifted by crisp acidity that follows through to the clean but long finish. ——L.B.(4/1/2011)—— 89

The 2007 Gewurztraminer (Yarden) is revisited here for a status check; it is not a current release. It opens pleasant and fruity, but perhaps with less Gewurz typicity than it originally had. It is a little more muted now than it was. As originally predicted, though, it is reaching the end of its useful life around now. With air, it began to show some signs of oxidation. This is still ok to drink – but drink up. Drink now. Importer: Yarden, Inc., New York, N.Y.; tel: (212) 997-9463
