This late-harvest Gewurztraminer boasts hints of dried apricot on the nose to go along with scents of pineapple and spice. It’s a gingery-peppery spice note that persists through the palate and onto the finish, joined by ripe pear flavors. Because it’s not that sweet or concentrated, this would be a good candidate to pair with foie gras or cheese rather than a true dessert.——J.C.(12/15/2007)—— 87
