Tasting - Crane Lake Gewurztraminer

Name: Crane Lake Gewurztraminer
Variety: Gewurztraminer
Region, Country: California, USA
Year: 2015
Price: $5.95

Winery Review: "This floral wine has notes of rose, peach, and apricot, with a smooth, lingering finish. This wine pairs well with both smoked Gouda and Munster cheeses. Also try it along with roast pork, turkey, red snapper or sautéed abalone."

My Review: I'm not usually a big fan of very sweet white wines but I found this interesting. The scent is strongly sweet but the wine did not have a syrupy quality to it. Fruity flavors like peach were present, but I found it to have an overall honey sweet taste. Although I did not try this wine with food, Randall from Vintage Cellar suggested trying this wine with spicy food, such as Thai food, which is definitely something I will be looking into.
