Vintage Cellar Tasting - Crane Lake Shiraz


Name: Crane Lake
Grape Variety: Shiraz
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $5.95
Cellar Review: Beautiful ruby appearance, with blackberry and pepper notes. Tannins and fruit marry well for a soft finish. This wine pairs well with sharp cheddar cheese and hazelnuts. Also try it along with roast lamb at Easter time, veal marsala, or grilled salmon.     
My Review: Funky smell, resembling trash and old socks. Also hints of earth and fungus. The taste was very smokey and oaky.

*Did not have with food
