Trimbach Pinot Blanc 2006 - $15



David: Gold in color. Nose of honied apple, peach, a little lemon, almond. Smells a bit woody or smoky (though it is unoaked). Full bodied with soft mouthfeel. Bone dry with medium to high acidity. Sharp and bitter almost to the point of harshness though still enjoyable with a long finish.
Score 4.0/5

Trimbach Gewurztraminer 2006 - $16



David: A Gewurztraminer from Alsace. We tried the
Riesling
from Trimbach before.

Gold in color. Nose has apples and honey with some gingerbread spice. Some mineral character. Off-dry to dry, full bodied acidity is muted. Somewhat subtle fruit character on the palate. Transitions into a more dry mineraly wine on the finish as vodka-like alcohol becomes a little more apparent. But pleasant overall.
Score: 4.0/5

Jessica:
This wine required me to recheck my detection of sweet vs/ fruit. The nose was so fruity, giving essences of apricots and peach that I was certain it was sweet when I took my first sip. In fact it is a dry white, but had a full delicious fruity character that made it seem sweet. It was full-bodied, and seemed well balanced to me. I thought it was really nice.
Score: 4.1/5
