— Iron Chef’s Review —
Nose - wet Stones, Tropical Fruit- lychees, Passion Fruit and Mango. Lime Leaves.
Taste- Mango+ Passion Fruit gelato. Minerally acidy. But some soapy mouth feel that disappeared with Stacy's Jerk Chicken.
Overall- Better than the rest of the New World Gewurtz that are in ANBL, but falls short of the more expensive ones from Alsace like the Pierre Sparr or Ribeauville, but I haven't tried the Sumac Ridge yet.
Chile- Maule Valley, 13.5%
95% Gewurtztraminer, 5% Riesling
Value: 4/5
Score: 87
Price: $13.79

Opened the bottle and had a glass before supper; boring. Had another glass with Indian food; not the same wine. It became pretty good and gave me a good kick in the pants I wasn't expecting after the first glass. Saved a glass for later and it wasn't as boring but the kick in the pants didn't go any further than the ankle.
