Tinhorn Creek Gewürztraminer 2015
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaConsistently one of Canada's best gews, and one of the best values in the province. This year the heated 2015 vintage has upped the weightiness of this heady grape, further expanding its waistline. Fortunately, twenty-one-year-old vines know how to handle Mother Nature, and this, though bigger than 2014, holds a fine line of limey acidity well. Ample gingersnap spicing brings some heat to the concentrated gooseberry, lychee, freesia and peach on the round, silken palate. Perfumed rosewater lingers on the lengthy finish.Tasted: 30 June 2016Tasted by: Prices:BC | $15.99 | 750ml | winery direct, VQA shops, private wine shops |
