Uncorking Crane Lake Gewurztraminer 2013

This weeks wine is Crane Lake Gewurztraminer Vintage 2013.

WINEMAKER NOTES: “This floral wine has notes of rose, peach, and apricot, with a smooth, lingering finish.” Larry Rocha, Winemaker

AWARD & ACCOLADES: 
2013 Orange County Fair Wine Competition – Silver Medal Beverage Dynamics, April 2013, Growth Brands Beverage Dynamics, 
April 2011, Growth Brand Award, Established Growth Brand  

My notes: Apple, apricot, pineapple, fruity, fresh, fresh rain, floral, side of tongue, clean finish, mild acidity, medium tannin,  refreshingly light bodied, slightly bitter but in a candied way.

Review: Very sweet and floral at first. Nice clean, light mouth feel. Not to sticky. Nice and refreshing. This wine caught me off guard, but I was pleased with how delicate and rounded it was. I have had some whites that are just very bold and grab you. This was like drinking nectar. Mild bite from the alcohol, a little bitter but in the best possible way. This is a definite keep on hand wine.


~Cheers
