Crane Lake Petite Sirah 2013

Name: Crane Lake

Variety: Petite Sirah

Country:  California

Year: 2013

Price: $6

Bottles Finished: 0 (Tasting Only)




Wine review: Shows a certain rustic simplicity now, with youthfully jammy flavors of blackberries, cherries and currants, sprinkled with cocoa and pepper and wrapped into dusty tannins.


My review: Yikes! No go. Just a mild soapy bouquet to start off with, but then a very dry and intensely puckering sensation on the palate with deep, strong tannins. Flavor could almost not be recognized as they were masked by the overt dry tannins. Bad.

Rating:
One Pair
