St. Christopher Gewurztraminer Rheinhessen 2008 - $9



David: Our first Gewerztraminer. This one is from Germany. Pale straw in color. Nose fairly weak. Very sweet. Apples are the obvious impression with perhaps a bit of lemon oil. Decent acidity but not enough to neutralize the sweetness. Low alcohol (10%). Tastes somewhat bland. Surely we can find better examples of Gewerztraminer.. Should try some from Alsace especially dry ones.
Score 3.0/5

Jessica: This wine was crisp with mild acidity and a dominating sweet taste. The fruits were apples and some citrus. Not much nose or depth. This wine was best served cold, otherwise the taste soured slightly.
Score: 3.8/5
