  • Crane Lake Cabernet Sauvignon California 2004

    Snoothrank:

    Sprouts Farmers Market sells it for 3/$10 and does very well. It's bottled in Napa Valley and for a dinner wine you can't lose. For that price I give it a 4 rating. Read More

  • Crane Lake California Sweet Red Table Wine Us-California Dessert & Ice Wines California Non-Vintage

    Snoothrank:

    I was somewhat skeptical about purchasing this wine, but once I tasted how smooth the flavors blended together, my skepticism left. There is no trace of oak in the pallet, which is a major plus for me. For anyone looking for a red wine, but doesn't care for the bitterness associated with a red, this red wine is a must try.

  • Crane Lake Petite Sirah California 2003

    Snoothrank:

    Laying down a $4 bottle of wine for 7 years in this case didn't help. Imagine that? However, it did taste like what it was, an inexpensive red. Petite Syrah, it's name is a misnomer. Read More

  • We drink a lot of Crane Lake wines (1.5 cases/week) in our household. Can you tell us why the corks in the bottles of Chardonnay are so hard and wreck just about every corkscrew known to man? The corks in all other variatals are just fine, as are the corks in the 1.5litre bottles of Chardonnay. We look forward to your comments and recommendation...

  • To echo Beachnut57, this Malbec has the necessary acidity to stand up to red sauces. I am of the belief that if you have to sugar you red sauces you are using the wrong tomatoe products. This is a dirt cheap wine that will complement any tomatoe based recipe within reason. There is really almost no malbec character to the wine. I will assume...
