Tasting-Crane Lake Shiraz

Name: Crane Lake
Variety: Shiraz

Region: California
Country: U.S.A.
Year: 2013
Price:  $5.95

Winery 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: This Shiraz is a deep velvety plum in color. The nose contained deep cherry and burning fire wood, and underlying creamy notes. The palate reminded me of grapefruits ans lemon zest  as it was bitter, tart, and had a little pucker to it. 
Food?:  did not pair with food.
