This is an old review I wrote for another site
North Carolina is always a good state for wine, though I’ll admit I tend to prefer their reds. So, when I picked up this wine I wasn’t expecting a whole lot really and was quite surprised at what I found. This Traminette wine had one of the best aromas I’ve had from a white in a while. Right from the start you get these beautiful herbal aromas with a hint of spice to it. You also get this lovely citrus smell to it all as well, though quite subtle to me. After you take a sip those subtle citrus aromas come through with this lovely spiciness to them. You also get a bit of some other fruit as well; I think it might possibly be apricot. That herbal quality comes through too, but this time a bit more subdued by the light sweetness of this wine. The finish was nice and long and was a bit drier then I had expected (and I do love dry wines). With this lovely white I had some tasty jambalaya, and I have to say it went quite nicely. I also think this wine would go great with spicy foods as well as some good thai or Indian food. So will you like it? Short answer, yes you will; especially if you are a fan of Rieslings or Gewurztraminer. Plus the price is great for a bottle of this stuff, so why not get yourself one.
