Wine On Line (US) Michael Franz -
"Lawson's Dry Hills is widely regarded as New Zealand's premier Gewürztraminer producer, though that may not get you terribly excited if you haven't experienced kiwi Gewürz." 

The Press (Christchurch) Tasting panel -
"Ross and Barbara Lawson built their reputation for top aromatics on Gewürztraminer and last year's vintage is up there with the best. It has a strong lychee nose, a 14.5% alcohol kick and a lychee/ginger taste that lasts and lasts until well after the bottle is empty. If you like your gewürz powerfully spicy, this is the one for you."
 
Otago Daily Times Charmian Smith. -
"Laswon's Dry hills Marlborough Gewürztraminer (about $22.00) is probably the most consistent of this variety - some of its vines are now over twenty years old, having survived the years when this variety was unaccountably out of fashion. It's fragrant with hints of eau de cologne, guave, roses, lychees and ginger. Powerful in the mouth with an attractive oily texture and a tingly hot finish."
 
Cuisine Magazine Tasting Panel -
"FIVE STARS......A beautifully rounded wine, brimming with fruit and spice in an intensley concentrated fashion. "

Australian Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine Tasting Panel -
"Lawson's Dry Hills is Marlborough's most distinguished Gewürztraminer maker. Past vintages have won more gongs than a U.S. Army five star general. They consistently achieve great concentration and character in their wines. When I asked Ross Lawson how he did it, he shrugged his shoulders and said " It's all in the vineyard, I guess"... Pungent, flavoursome wine with a floral nose and strong varietal Turkish delight characters. Avery Alsace style Gewürztraminer with lovely fruit purity."
