Tasting- Crane Lake Gewürztraminer

Name: Crane Lake Gewürztraminer
Variety: Gewürztraminer
State: California
Year: 2013
Price: $5.95
Expert 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.

My Review: The Gewürztraminer was a deep yellow and smelled as expected for a sweeter dessert wine. The sweet citrusy fruit and crisp flowers were picked up with hints of pineapple exemplifying the sweetness. The taste picked up more green apple and tropical fruit flavors remaining. The sweet sugary taste continued till the end of the aftertaste.

Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at the Vintage Cellar.
