With a dinner of Shrimp Uggi (as approximated by Jean), I originally opened a bottle of 2011 Marnes Blanches Cote de Jura Rosé that, after a few sips, started smelling corked to us. As a backup I opened:
2011 Navarro Dry Gewurztraminer nose: roses, lychee, minerals palate: intensely fruity, dry, crisp acidityWe've had many vintages of this wine, but this edition stands out as probably the finest expression of this grape I've had from California. Varietally correct, reasonably dry and with plenty of intensity, this wine could rival much of what comes from Alsace. A very nice match with the spiciness of the Shrimp Uggi, too!
