88 points Wine Enthusiast: "Some will find this wine off-dry. Others won’t even discern the residual sugar. It straddles that interesting line, marked by crispness and tart flavors of limes, guavas, oranges and jasmine tea. A fine Gewürztraminer, from a region in Mendocino County that excels at the variety. 1,600 cases produced. Alcohol 13.7%. (12/31/11)"

88 points Anthony Dias Blue (The Tasting Panel): "Dry, clean and crisp with juicy peach fruit and spice; long, fresh and balanced. (Jan/Feb 2012)"

Producer notes: "Aromas of pineapple, green tea, mandarin orange and honeysuckle greet the nose. The first sip reveals flavors of ripe melon, lychee-nut, and an inviting spice character. This mix of floral, spice, and fruit notes makes the wine a pleasure to drink in its youth, although the structure of the wine suggests an additional year or two of aging would be worth the wait. Delight in the Husch 2009 Gewurztraminer with Asian cuisine, fresh fruit and cheeses, turkey dinner, or on a warm afternoon."
