Tasting #20 Crane Lake

Tasting #20 Crane Lake

Name: Crane Lake
Varietal: White Zinfandel
Region: California
Year: 2013
Price: $5.95

Winery review: Light pink wine with floral and tropical aromas: flavors of strawberry, peach and raspberry with a touch of sweetness. This wine is an easy sipping wine that also pairs well with a wide variety of foods ranging from crab cakes or pâté to spicy Asian dishes, glazed ham, and grilled sea bass.

Personal review:  I was pleasantly surprised that this White Zin was not too overbearingly sweet. On the nose I smelled strawberries and a little floral hint. It was very light bodied and seemed like a nice, light strawberry wine. There were little peach hints throughout and I could see this going well with a dessert like peach cobbler or strawberry shortcake.
