Tasting - Crane Lake Riesling 2013

3/1/2015

Name: 
Crane Lake
Variety: 100% Riesling
Region: California 
Country: USA
Price: $5.95
Year: 2013

Winery review: 
'Punchy lime and lemon mark this off-dry Riesling with a staccato rhythm, adding edge to honeyed tones of peach and honeysuckle. Exceptionally priced, it's satisfying and elegant.' - Vintage Cellar 




My Review:  
Very Sweet! I felt it was hard to drink alone, but would pair well with a food that could break up the sweetness of the wine. Overall the taste was somewhat sour with flavors of lemon and lime as described in the review above. Along with lemon and limes were tastes of green apples, but I couldn't pick out the described peaches, but agree with the honeysuckle. There was hardly any alcohol taste or acidity on the finish of the wine and had a crisp,sour finish. 

I did not pair this wine with any food.
