Tasting- Crane Lake Riesling

Name: Crane Lake Riesling
Variety: Riesling
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $5.95
Expert 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.

My Review: This was a full yellow color. The aroma smelled like rotten fruit that retained some sweetness which also came through in the aroma. The mid palate was asparagus and citrus with hints of lemon zest. This was medium bodied but too sweet for my liking.

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