2004 Stony Hill Gewurztraminer

Please note that our 2004 Gewurztraminer production is less than half of usual due to those pesky rains in May when the fruit was setting. The fairest thing we can do is to sell it on a first come first served basis as we do with all our wines. The 2004 vintage is palest straw in color with very appealing floral aromas of white roses and gardenias in particular, and fresh, delicate flavors to entrance your palate. At our Wine Auction Napa Valley lunch in June we learned from Chef Nam Phan of the Napa General Store what a great match dry Gewurztraminer is with Vietnamese food, particularly with the crispy crab and pork spring roll with ginger dipping sauce, which was the hands down favorite of all seven courses.
