The Vintage Cellar had the following to say about this wine:
"Slightly high-toned notions of rose petal mingle with lemon on nose and palate of this lightly sweet, richly textured yet balanced Gewürztraminer. This is not as heady as you may expect and will be a treat with spicy Asian dishes. Lychee and rose petal make another very fetching appearance on the finish."
My heart was happy when this wine was being poured into my glass - it had such a light color with a slight touch of golden brown and was not in any way red. When I took my first big sniff of the glass I thought that the scent was very sweet, which I narrowed down to a butterscotch resemblance. In the smell of the wine I also noted the scents of butter, grapefruit and apple. With the tasting, this was a very sweet wine and reinforced my ideas of grapefruit and apple in the scent; I definitely tasted them as well. Additionally, I tasted honey, which I presume added to the sweetness of the wine along with a hint of melon. While I feel somewhat silly even mentioning it, I found that this wine also had an overwhelming grape flavor to it.
I'm not sure if I liked this wine for the flavors of it, or just because it was the last wine of the tasting. Either way, I found that this wine was both sweet and pleasant and left me wanting a larger glass. This was one of the few wines that I've taken note of as a wine to buy later.
