Tasting - Crane Lake Riesling

Name: Crane Lake Riesling
Variety: Riesling
Country: California

Year: 2013
Price: $5.95

Tasting Notes: Pale golden color. Ripe and dried peaches on the nose. Minerals and dried peach flavors. Nicely balanced, leaning towards the acidic.


My review: I think this was a steal for $5.95.  I mean I felt like there was a decent amount going on and I was pretty excited.  On the nose I got a melony, cantaloupey fragrance, but like drizzed with some honey.  This Riesling had a pretty decent mouthfeel and low heat.  It was packing a punch with a lot of residual sugar.  I picked up honey for sure, and a little twinge of lemon zest.  It reminded me a lot of eating a pound cake, good in moderation, but a too much and you'll feel sick.

I had this wine without food
