Gewurztraminer 2008 - Balletto

$16.95 per bottle

The Balletto 2008 Gewurztraminer from the Russian River Valley region of Sonoma County showcases beautifully the classic aroma of this illustrious grape. Also shown in abundance are the aromas of Lychee fruit, guava, red pear and granny smith apples; citrus flavors help highlight the more dominate smells. In the mouth, the tropical flavors from the nose transfer to the palate and are joined by nice tangerine and lemon.

The wine is lushly textured with light, balanced tannins and an incredibly long toffee, apple and pear finish. Because of its length and weight in the mouth, this wine will hold up to and compliment spicy foods like Thai and Indian. It also serves well by itself as an aperitif and is the all-time-classic pairing for Thanksgiving turkey and all the Thanksgiving trimmings.
