Tasting - Crane Lake Riesling

Name: Crane Lake Riesling
Region/Country: California, USA
Year: 2013
Price: $5.95

Winery Review: The trademark 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: Although I did not not like this one, I have definitely had a lot better Rieslings. It had an apricot-like component on the nose, which was refreshing, but it pretty much tasted like a plain fruity juice, which was not too exciting for a wine. I would give this wine an 83. I tasted this on its own with no food.
