Winery Review: A delicious and fresh blend of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris. Light aromas of fresh fruit and delicate white flowers start your journey, followed by crisp flavors of stone and citrus fruit. A well balanced acidity on the dry finish ends this French blend beautifully.
My Review: This wine had a very strong fruit smell. Immediately, even before swirling, the smell was already present. Surprisingly, despite the pungent aroma, the taste was very light with a definite dry finish. This wine was drier than I would have liked from a white wine.
I did not have this wine with food.

Tasting - Foris Gewurztraminer
![]() |
| I forgot to take a picture of the bottle at the tasting. The 2012 version was tasted. |
Name: Foris Gewurztraminer
Variety: 100% Gewurztraminer
Region: Rogue Valley, Oregon
Country: United States
Year: 2012
Price: 14.95
Winery Review: Labeled dry and tasting very much so, this clean, floral-scented Gewurztraminer has a pleasingly dusty aspect; rose petals with a thin veneer of incense. Long and Complex. - 90
My Review: The critic review was fairly accurate. It had a very flower smell to it with a light grass smell as well. The flavor was similar to the smell and had a rosy flavor. It was very dry and had a somewhat acidic aftertaste.
I did not have this wine with food.
