Tasting #30 Crane Lake Riesling

Tasting #30 Crane Lake Riesling

Name: Crane Lake Riesling
Varietal(s): Riesling
Region: California
Year: 2013
Price: $5.95

Winery review: The trademark German red grape varietal Dornfelder has a lovely purity of soft red berry fruit. Integrated soft tannins combined with forward fruit flavors make for a perfectly balanced everyday sipping wine. Great with grilled red meat, sausage and chicken. Best served slightly chilled.

Personal review:  On the nose there was a hint of strawberry, peach and apricot. This was very sweet and smooth. This was extremely sweet, definitely not the type of wine I tend to go for. To me, this would only pair well with something extremely spicy to balance out.
