This 2008 Balletto Gewurztraminer is a lovely showcasing of this exquisite grape varietal. From the Russian River Valley region of Sonoma County this delightful vintage boasts aromas of red pear, granny smith apples, guava, and Lychee fruit. The same elements that contribute to the aromas are also translated into glorious flavors punctuated by juicy tangerine and tangy lemon.

Balletto's Gewurztraminer is nicely textured with very light and perfectly balanced tannins. The finish on this wine is enjoyably long and filled with hints of pear, apple and toffee. Because this is not a very light wine, it will certainly be able to stand up and complement many spicy foods such as Indian and Thai. Enjoy this wine by itself, it is that wonderful, or enjoy it as the ever-classic wine to pair with Thanksgiving dinner and all of its delicious trimmings.
