Sineann Cellio Gewürztraminer 2006 Columbia Gorge, Oregon

List Price: $19

Winemaker Peter Rosback’s Notes: Perched high on a south-facing slope overlooking the Columbia river, the vineyard basks in the hot summer sun, yet sees cool summer nights. The combination serves to fully ripen Gewürztraminer with good supporting acidity. What We Thought: A spicy, floral nose leads to a rich, almost viscous, mouthful of ripe stone fruits with apricot and nectarine flavors that simply flow over your palate. It's all supported by a nice layer of acidity, finishing with just the slightest hint of sweetness. If they ever start awarding Grand Cru status to American vineyards, they can start with Cellio.
