Wine Tasting— Foris Gewürztraminer

Name: Foris Rogue Valley Oregon Gewürztraminer 2012 Variety: 100% Gewurztraminer Region: Illinois Valley, Rogue Valley Appellation, Oregon, USA Country: USA Year: 2012 Price: $14.95 Winery Review: Labeled dry and tasting very much so, this clean, floral-scented Gewürztraminer has a pleasingly dusty aspect; rose petals with a thin veneer of incense. Long and complex.—90—Wine Enthusiast. My Review: Straw colored. This wine smelled dry however, I found that it wasn’t very dry on the palate. It has a sweet, floral aroma, complemented with a rosy flavor. I tasted some bright fruits like pineapple and nectarines, but this bright aspect was very subdued and dulled. The overall impression I had of this wine was that it wasn’t very bright and acidic, rather slightly smoky. The aftertaste I was left with was of nutmeg or cinnamon. I found this wine delicious! With food?: I tried this wine on its own without food.
