I would not put more than 90 on such simple wines...it is good but nothing transcendental about it, shows nice lichee and rose notes, balanced acidity that keeps the wine away from heavyness, but it is nothing to compare with the lighter style Rieslings and Pinot Bianco’s or even Sylvaner from the region, well made wine still...

Lovely stuff, even coming from a guy who only occasionally likes Gewurz. Typical aromas, though not overwhelmingly so, plus nice acidity and a pleasantly bitter finish.

Setting aside the almost absurd markups on the wine pairings for the tasting menu at Spiaggia, I must say that this was a gorgeous example of a gewurztraminer; explosive floral tropical aroma and bursting with similar fruits, medium high acidity, nicely balanced. I would put this on the shelf any day.
