Tasting - Crane Lake Gewürtztraminer 2013


Name: Crane Lake
Variety: Gewürtztraminer
Region: Riesling
Country: Germany
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.

My review: 
This was the most unique wine that I have ever smelled or tasted. The wine smelled hoppy, like a pale ale. Yet the beer had a grape taste. The finish was good but again the alcohol tasted more like it had come from yeast rather than grapes.

This was tasted without food
