An unusual and surprisingly good skin contact Gerwurz. Gorgeous pale rose color, dry, abv 12.1%. Check out Union Sacré wines out of Paso - v interesting lineup. $28. Fruit is from Monterey. — 5 months ago

In this case, actually, the offspring that this wine mimics is the Union of petite sirah & zinfindel. Thick spicy tangy and powerfully cleansing… Yet without being jagged and overly assertive. Delicious! Medium + weight with a long finish. So good it was even simply sippable — 2 years ago

Great nose. Somewhat thin, with aspects of traditional Gewurtztraminer, only muted. Also perhaps a hint of bret. This is the LaCroix of gewurtztraminer! With 40 days on skins I’d expect a bigger wine...perhaps it needs to open up. — 4 years ago

Ruby color with aromas of red berry fruit and sweet spices, fruit sourced from Sonoma, Monterey and Santa Barbara. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberry, with dried fruit notes, toasty vanilla oak, cinnamon spice and cola tones. Fine mouth coating tannins with balanced acidity carry this wine to a long finish. Good now! — 8 months ago

Amazing price point and a go-to aperitif wine in my household. Nose has wet gravel, chamomile, lemon, maybe a slight whiff of coriander. Mouthfeel is creamy with ripe lemon, white peach & lime zest, then that mouth-watering acidity kicks in and it’s just easy-drinking loveliness. 😘🤌🏻 — 2 years ago

2017 vintage. @Delectable Wine this is the Union Sacre La Passion de Legionnaire Merlot. Lots of finesse and freshness. Raspberry, red plum, blackberry, tart cherry, pomegranate, a bit of a red floral thing, new oak-inflected vanilla, mocha, and coconut notes. Great texture, definitely lends that Santa Ynez coastal elegance and texture. — 4 years ago

Great skin contact wine, closer to white. Slight bit of sweetness but not a too much. Very refreshing — a year ago

Chasing my chaotic self-administered pandemic hair chopping with a Gewurtz from Arroyo Seco which seems to me apropos as I imagine the region as wind-swept and tousled. This wine is not so much and that is a good thing. All is in harmony. There is just the right amount of everything and it hits you in order—the lychees are followed by a green lawn leading to the flower garden full of roses and gardenias all spirited along by a nice amount of acid and powered by a prickling tannin. I’m not normally the biggest Gewurtz fan but I’d reach for this a second time. I’d maybe even pair it with a “hard to pair” thing like artichoke. Something about the floral nature of both I think could line up. Is that crazy? Maybe. But this is coming from someone who just used her kitchen scissors to give herself an intentionally asymmetrical haircut. — 4 years ago
