2018 Bedrock Wine Co. Gewürztraminer Alta Vista Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Moon Mountain District (8/18/2021)
I am always skeptical of U.S. Gewurztraminer, but this is notably better than what I have had in a long time. It doesn't have the soaring aromatics of the Alsatian versions, but it's also not a massive sugar bomb (it's quite close to completely dry), so it has that going for it. There's clear lychee and spice elements, and the balance is good, so props to Team Bedrock, as this is a worthy bottle of Gewurz.

Yup. (Lower) Aerican gewurzes generally disappoint, though some of the dryer versions out of BC can be quite impressive.
