I'm still suspicious of screw-top wines, but this one was quite smooth with more depth than I expected. Gorgeous color. I'd like to try an older vintage, but wouldn't mind drinking this again.

I was surprised by this wine. I'm not much of a white drinker, but it was the afternoon and we were having fish for lunch. This was nicely balanced. Not too sweet like some Gewurztraminers can be. Very clean taste, and I appreciated that it wasn't complicated.
