Tasting-Crane Lake Riesling

Name: Crane Lake
Variety: Riesling

Region: California
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2013
Price:  $5.95

Winery Review: The tradmark 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 wine had a tropical beachy vibe in the nose with floral scents mixed with sunscreen, and strawberry margarita as well as an odd smell that reminded of a newly opened pack of diapers. Very sweet on the palate, like a sugar cube meets raspberries and mango.
Food?:  did not pair with food.
