Reason:
Recently my brother (Jason), and my sister-in-law (Logan)
took me on my first trip out to Napa & Sonoma. When they left, they gave me
this bottle of Dutton Goldfield to enjoy on a nice summer day while living out
in California for the summer. I am grateful for the experience, and the wine.
Love you both!
Thoughts:
Gewürztraminer is a unique experience to begin with, and
Dutton Goldfield’s takes me on a journey back to when I lived in NY. For many
years my family would go out apple picking, and this wine is like taking a bite
out a succulent piece of fruit that comes right off the tree. The kind you have
to close your eyes while eating in order to take it all in. It will then finish
like a bouquet of flowers that has shown up at your doorstep to welcome you
into summer.
Region:
Sonoma, California - Russian River Valley
Color:
Pale yellow, almost golden.
Aroma:
Seductive scent of a fresh pear that transforms into that
of fresh cut flowers, apple-hookah, and asparagus.
Taste:
The taste starts out like biting into a sweet pear in the
middle of a fresh cut bouquet of flowers. You are then left with the fresh
taste of a first bite into a granny smith apple on the tip of your tongue. Luckily,
after your sip the wine will continue to leave this fresh taste for just over a
minute.
Served:
Chilled in the fridge.
Pairing:
I do not always pair my wine, but I happened to have some
roasted pistachio & almonds tossed with rosemary, and it was a delightful
combination.
Price:
Approximately $30 (this
was a gift)
