Trimbach's "classic" 2005 Gewurztraminer offers a model of restraint and
refreshment that I can only wish more growers would emulate. Smelling
of smoked meats, celery seed and sea breeze, it is positively bracing
even before it hits the palate, where a certain oily richness does not
equate to heaviness nor preclude vivacity. Celery root, peach, and
smoked meats dominate the finish of this truly ripe, dry-tasting, yet
only 13.5% stylistic statement. -Rated 87 by Wine Advocate
