Tasting #15 Crane LakeName: Crane Lake
Varietal: Gewürtztraminer
Year: 2013
Price: $5.95
Winery review: 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.
Personal review: Sweet. Sweet. Sweet. Hints of peach, apricot, and flowers were in the bouquet of this wine. On the palate similar hints of peach and apricot, with a tropical hint of mango. This wine was extremely light bodied and had the smooth, sweet quality of honey. If I had not been told this was wine, I would have never guessed it had alcohol in it. There was no food paired with this wine, but it would go well with anything spicy.
