Tasting-Crane Lake Petite Sirah

Name: Crane Lake Petite Sirah
Variety:  Petite Srah
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $5.95

Vintage Cellar 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: The Petite Sirah smelled fruitier to the nose than the other red wine in the tasting this week. Specifically it elicited thoughts of raspberry to me. However, much to my disappointment, this red wine was also dry and had a strong peppery after taste. I did not care for this wine at all and don’t plan on considering it when purchasing wines in the future.
