TN: 2006 Navarro Edelzwicker

A bit of Alsace trivia - A blend of noble varietals is rather a Gentil than an Edelzwicker, and this blend needs only Muscat to have the full set. Hugel makes a Gentil, e g, and that implies a significant presence of nobles. OTOH, this wine is no Alsatian, so I guess I matters little.

Just wanted to point out that the rivets are busily being counted.

Cheers!

Thanks, Nils. I had wondered what the official difference between Hugel's Gentil (readily available here for ~$7/bottle) and an Edelzwicker. I had naively assumed Gentil to be a proprietary name since I'd only ever seen it used by Hugel. Now, all is clear. Now that you mention it, though, I usually get a fairly pronounced Muscat character in Hugel's Gentil, so that's probably why I didn't make the connection.
