Sachi rated this wine as 93/100

Melanie Aubert rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

It's always good to have a tasty gewürztraminer on-hand for spontaneous Asian feast nights. This totally fits the bill. On the nose, you get white peach, lychee and lemon, then it fills the palate with lychee, grapefruit, peach, lemon, honeysuckle and elderflower. A word to the wise: this wine is medium-dry, so the residual sugar may take some by surprise (and completely delight others). But it will do great things with medium-spicy dishes. Quite enjoyable just on its own as well, and at that price point I am totally sold!
