Nose has amazing Gardenia aromas, sweet honey, freshly milled white pepper and cold wax.

Palate has over-ripe cantaloupe, honey drizzle on green melon, (light) lemon/orange zest and juiced Clementine (faint). Light on the acidity and a bit long on the finish. Decanted 60m. (92-93 points, very nice)

Spectacular pairing to fried eggs (backyard egg factory paying its dues even in the cold of winter) over toasted couscous, softened garlic & red onion, fresh green onion and the star of the dish za'atar (I could eat this on cereal!).

I honestly really hate Gewurz but this is a bright and nice wine with plenty of acidity and balanced fruit and floral notes. Still not my favorite but I’ll give it a fair assessment.

12 October 2018; Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyards tasting.

Nose of incredible Gardenia flowers, light spices.
Palate has spicy white pepper, dilute honey, long finish.

A great bottle, this varietal thrives in the FLX region, most notably in the HJW vineyards!

A beautiful example of the varietal. Intense aromas of gardenias, rose petals and baking spices. Hints of lemon and tangerine. Lychee and green melon flavors with hints of white pepper and bees wax. Viscous texture, crisp acidity and a spicy finish. Beautiful!
