Lot 524
2023 Anderson Valley Gewürztraminer

$35/bottle under the original label

Lot 524 is a revelation: a dry, 100% estate-grown Gewürztraminer reminiscent of an Alsatian Grand Cru. Showing a supreme balance of aromatics, flavor, and texture, it’s rich and full-bodied, yet also somehow crisp and refreshing – a harmony only achieved through fruit grown in world-class terroir and obviously masterful winemaking. Consistently cooler weather in 2023 produced some of the highest quality fruit this century.

A deep and radiant golden hue beckons you into the glass, where expressive and vibrant aromas of lychee and white peach mingle with rose water and wet stones. On the palate, vivid tropical fruit flavors mesh with tangerines and lemon, crescendoing into a delicate, uplifted ginger spice framed by seamlessly balanced acidity and clean minerality. The refined finish is drier than it lets on, with subtle hints of white florals and lingering ginger riding a clean, medium-length finish. This bottle disappears very quickly.
