Alexander Valley Vineyards “Gewürz New Reserve” Gewürztraminer 2024

I’m not finding a verified professional critic score for the 2024 vintage from the major rating publications yet. The current 2024 listing describes it as a drier-style Gewürztraminer with appealing minerality, bright apple, pear and grapefruit flavors, plus apricot, citrus, lychee and pear aromatics.

For context, the closely related 2023 Alexander Valley Vineyards Gewürz received:

• Tastings — 90 points, Gold Medal: Melon, jackfruit, lychee, peach and Mandarin aromas, followed by peach, lychee, white flowers and lime zest. Tastings specifically praised its combination of fruit and floral character with a dry palate, pleasant acidity and delicate bitterness.

Summary: No verified professional score for 2024 found yet. The wine appears to continue the producer's dry, aromatic style, with lychee, apricot, pear, grapefruit and citrus, supported by minerality and refreshing acidity. The 2023 received 90 points from Tastings.
