“Aromas of lychee, grapefruit, rose petals, and five spice powder greet the nose. The fruit and spice carry through on the palate with a touch of mineral to keep things interesting. This is dry stle Gewurztraminer that doesn’t hide rough edges behind a cloak of sugar. It pairs well with Asian influenced cuisines.”

Since I wrote this post, I learned from Glenn Alexander’s daughter, Chelsea, that Glenn and Russell Bevan are behind the Sanglier Cellars Syrah; Sanglier Cellars is partners with Tom Klassen, the winemaker for the Hibou de Nuit. Chelsea also tells me that the Hibou is now available for direct purchase online from Hiboucellars.com.

If multiple wine bloggers profess to love this wine, then you might want to get yourself some before it’s gone! Minimum 3-bottle order; $22 per 750ml bottle.
