Tasting - Crane Lake White Zinfandel



Name: Crane Lake White Zinfaldel
Variety: White Zinfandel
Region: California
Country: USA
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 pate to spicy Asian dishes, glazed ham, and grilled sea bass.

My Review:
This wine was a really pink and orange color. The smell was fruity and sweet - kind of like an old chapstick that I used to have growing up. The taste was surprising because it was a full body wine for a white wine. There was a little bit of a licorice after tasted, with the heat at the beginning of the sip. The finish was smoother however, and it did not have too much sweetness. A good way to describe this wine would be to say it tasted like strawberry juice in water - diluted. This was tasted without food.
