Wine Tasting—Jean Baptiste Gewürztraminer Rsv.

Name:  Jean Baptiste Adam Alsace Gewürztraminer Réserve 2012
Variety:  100% Gewürztraminer
Region: Alsace, France
Country: France
Year: 2012
Price: $19.95

Winery Review: The wine has a light yellow hue and carries aromas such as pineapple, mango, acacia, as well as a hint of pepper and spice. On the palate, the attack is smooth and deep, with flavors of sweet spice that intermingle with vibrant acidity and an overall freshness.

My Review: This wine smelled very sweet. The mango was very evident in the taste, but I also tasted peach or nectarine. I was surprised by how dry the wine was, considering it’s very fruity aroma. I enjoyed this wine.


With food?: I tried this wine with a Manchego cheese. I thought the cheese helped the fruit flavors in the wine open up a bit.
