Rippon Vineyard Gewürztraminer 2023

Lacks the exotic perfume and spice that make Gewürztraminer compelling. The nose feels closed and subdued, missing the variety's hallmark floral intensity. Some phenolic texture provides interest, but the wine never finds its voice. An uncharacteristic stumble from Rippon.
