Name: Gnarly Head 2012 Authentic White
Variety: Riesling, Moscato, Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier
Region: Lodi, CA
Country: USA
Year: 2012

Winery Review: From the aroma to the finish, this is all fresh, grapy, jammy and semisweet. The mouthfeel is smooth and the body is medium-full, with an overwhelming impression of crushed raspberries and strawberries.

My Review: I count this wine as a baby step towards someday liking something other than moscato. The main flavor that came through for me on the nose and in taste was strawberries. Even though this was the easiest to detect I thought that it was very well balanced. Although, I know I would have enjoyed it more if it was sweeter I feel like this wine was a good choice to move me into more traditional whites. I drank this alone without food.
