Tasting - 2013 Crane Lake Pettite Sirah


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

Winery review: "Deep purple color, fruity nose. Very good varietal character. Fruity, clean short finish. Great wine? No. A bargain at $4 a bottle? Hell, yes! This is very serviceable wine. Easy drinking, decent quality. Exceeds expectations. Highly recommend." -Cellartracker 85 points

My review: Big and bold spiciness came to the nose, black spice and a petrol aroma were present. Hints of cherry were thrown into the mix. A good complexity to the wine with black currant, cherry and plum flavors initially. Texture of the wine was smooth on the palate and there was a spicy back palate. I appreciated the depth the wine brought to the table.

This wine was tasted on it's own with no food.
