Navarro’s Aromatic Whites

I recently fell for three aromatic whites from Navarro Vineyards – one dry and two sweet. All three are deeply perfumed, with silky, clean fruit flavors and long, intense finishes. Here are my notes:
Navarro Vineyards 2007 Gewurztraminer Anderson Valley ($19). Loved the pretty floral and stone accents to the lush apricot, peach, orange citrus and spice flavors, with a rich, mouthwatering finish. Outstanding. Ready to drink now. Locate this wine online or in your area.
Navarro Vineyards 2007 Riesling Anderson Valley Late Harvest($19). Loads of botrytis character here, with focused apricot, citrus marmalade, pineapple and musk notes that mingle on the long, sweet, mouthwatering finish. Ready to drink now and over the next 3-4 years.
Navarro Vineyards 2006 Gewurztraminer Anderson Valley Cluster Select Late Harvest (750ml $59, 375ml $29). Syrupy sweet, offering layers of apricot, honey, pretty citrus, dried pineapple and brown sugar, with a long, sticky finish. Ready to drink now and over the next couple of years.
