Shop review: "The wine has a light yellow hue and carries aromas such as pineapple, mango, acacia, as well as a hint of pepper and spice. On the palate, the attack is smooth and deep, with flavors of sweet spice that intermingle with vibrant acidity and an overall freshness." -Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: Jean Baptiste Gewurztraminer Reserve was pale yellow in appearance. The wine gave off a sweet, tropical aroma. Mango and pineapple stood out on the palate. I enjoyed this one very much as I am partial to tropical fruits and it was very easy to pick up these flavors on the tongue. The flavor was refreshing as the sweetness did not linger and it went down smooth. Perfect for summer evenings.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
