Smith & Wilson CHERIEAU 2006 Review
Gewurztraminer, dry, award winning Bronze
Winemaker’s Notes:
Light straw yellow, with a pleasant fresh grapefruit aroma. This medium bodied wine is smooth and dry on the palate. Grapefruit and citrus are dominant, with a hint of roses and spice in the finish.
This is a versatile wine that tastes wonderful with a simple appetizer of crackers and smoked Gouda, or a creamy crab dip. It marries well with spices so is a natural for Asian based dishes and Indian curries. It would also complement boneless chicken in a Dijon mustard and cream sauce.
Price: 750 mL $13

While this is not a wine that I would serve every day it is one that is worth a try now and then. Floral hints on the nose followed by citrus accents.
The taste starts a little bit sweet but quickly has a little bit of a burn to it. Wanda commented that it actually had an alcohol taste making the wine a little hot to drink.
Overall, paired with spicy foods, I think this wine would be fine. Not a sipping wine.
