Review - Crane Lake Gewurztraminer

Name: Crane Lake Gewurztraminer
Variety: 100% Gewurztraminer
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2013
Price: $5.95

Wine Shop 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.

Personal Review: A very perfumy, floral aroma at the nose with a hint of peach and apple. Overall, very fruity and sweet at the nose. Surprisingly, these pleasant fruity flavors were non existent in the tasting as the Gewurztraminer was overwhelmingly sugary. No mid pallet or distinct finish. I found this wine to be quite disappointing and would not recommend it.

Note: I did not consume this wine with food.
