Tasting - Crane Lake Petite Syrah 2013

Name: Crane Lake Petite Syrah
Variety: 100% Petite Syrah
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2013
Price: $5.95

Winery Review: "Shows a certain rustic simplicity now, with youthfully jammy flavors of blackberries, cherries and currants, sprinkled with cocoa and pepper and wrapped into dusty tannins."

My Review: This wine hit the nose with a very jammy cherry smell. On the palate, it was slightly dry, and tasted of dark chocolate, jam, plums, and dark berries. I was a little disappointed with this wine, as I thought petite syrah was supposed to have big, bold flavor..which was not the case. Mediocre wine. This wine was tasted on its own without food.
