Let’s roll back
the clock a few years to when Hye Meadow Winery first opened. This wine was one of their original whites
offered when the doors first opened. The tasting room was still under
construction and samples were done in the very newly finished barrel and grape
crushing room. Sourced from Washington grapes, this 50/50 blend of Gewurztraminer
and Riesling has held up well since its initial release. Has it aged well? Why
yes it has. Does it still taste good? Absolutely. Did it start to turn to
vinegar after opening it? No, it did not! The amber color has darkened a bit as
expected with an aged white, yet still holds a sensible medium finish. There are
just enough residual sugars to give it a pleasant taste, yet still allow one to
discern the floral notes and aromas this lovely wine offers. Coincidentally, it pairs nicely with a spicy
dish, so indulged and enjoy well with this one!
