Sumac Ridge Gewurtzraminer

I have wanted to try more wines from British Columbia for a while, so when this one came on sale for $8.95 at the LCBO I snapped it up. I like Gewurtztraminers, and had heard from a friend of a friend that BC's Gewurtztraminers were very good, so I bought it. I went over to my good friend P's house to enjoy a night of reviewing, and as always we had good wine and good times. Here is what we thought.

P - It is a very yellow looking wine. It smells really nice as well. It is a very pleasant wine, it has a very distinct taste to it, kind of like melons. It is a very crisp wine but is very light for a Gewurtztraminer. It has a bit of a bitter aftertaste. I would drink this wine again. I am really enjoying it and give it a very postive endorsement.

A - It smells like pineapple and vanilla. It tastes like lemons, pineapple, and coconut extract. It is a really easy drinking wine and is not as sweet as other gewurtzs I have drank, it is still fruity but light. I find it leaves my mouth tingling a little but it is really light and easy drinking. It would be food with a light dinner too, like a salad or BBQ. It is not really as juicy as other gewurtzs. It taste to me like a nice tropical vacation!
