Halleck 2006 Piner Creek Ranch Dry Gewürztraminer (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Piner Creek Ranch Dry
Variety: Gewürztraminer California
Winery: Halleck / Russian River Valley

The options for fine, really dry California Gewürz are surprisingly limited, which is too bad, because a good one, like Halleck’s ’06, is hard to beat. Racy and crisp in acidity, it’s bright in flavor, offering waves of peaches, apples, pears, honeysuckle flowers, figs, vanilla and the complex Asian spices from which the variety takes its name.
