Twice in the past four years this gateway wine that swirls blueberry juice — years ago, it was huckleberry — into Gewürztraminer has been awarded a Platinum. And while the label is a whimsical guess at how Bigfoot’s wife might help a winemaker on the crush pad, this is a well-constructed wine. The blueberry flavors are nicely integrated and nothing dominates, allowing for some of the Gewürz’s natural spiciness to come through. The sugar/acid balance is spot-on, making for a very pleasant quaffer. Qualifying award: West Coast Wine Competition — East Meets West (gold)
