Nice fruity aroma, soft peaches, definately a riesling, then you taste some peach, soft citrus, not too strong, slightly sweet but without being overly sweet. Very enjoyable. Great Buy, will buy again!

Crane Lake Petit Syrah 2011

Snoothrank:

Excellent and recommended bargain wine - every bit as good as many that cost nearly three times as much. For less than $5/bottle - it's a winner, is full bodied, and perhaps one of their better selections. If it was poured in a decanter and aerated and served in a fancy atmosphere - you'd probably have no clue that it was a bargain wine. Read More

Crane Lake Pinot Noir California 2010

Snoothrank:

I liked this wine, only paid $5.49 so was impressed that I liked it well enough! I am not a wine connoisseur by any means, but have had many glasses of wine, and this one wasn't bad! A little bold, not too bold, no long or bad aftertaste. Read More

My wife and I love your wines. We usually buy the diving on blanc and the petit Sarah. We buy a case of each and for the price it is the best deal out there. We will be heading out to San Francisco in August and hope to visit your winery.

I am on a strict gluten-free diet. Do any of the Crane Lake wines contain glutens from any source?

Love your Crane Lake Wines but last evenig when i went to serve my dinner guest, i was surprised when i opened the bottle and found Merlot instead of Zinfandel. The lable read Zinfandel. Two of the guest prefer the Zinfandel and not the Merlot. It would have been a great April fools antic. Marilyn Sanders csanders4@new.rr.com

Malbec, Shiraz, and Pino are very satisfying. When you look at the other reviews I think it's quite clear what a good value Crane Lake is.

They have a really wide selection of varietals. Malbec, sangiovese, syrah, petit syrah etc. And though not stunning, blow you away wines, they do reflect the grape and they are nice, everyday bottles of wine. Did I mention the price is great?

I love the Malbec. For the price (which is so low, I don't want to mention) it can not be beat!

Well a couple of days ago we deceided to go to Laughlin and we took another bottle of Chardonnay and I was going to have a glass before supper. Our little cork screw would not ta...
