WINE DESCRIPTION
Crane Lake Shiraz is a rich and full-bodied red wine produced by Crane Lake Cellars. The grapes are sourced from select vineyards in California's Central Valley, where the warm climate and well-draining soils create ideal growing conditions for Shiraz. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is characterized by its deep ruby color, aromas of blackberry and spice, and flavors of dark fruit and vanilla. With its bold and robust style, Crane Lake Shiraz is a perfect choice for those who enjoy full-bodied red wines.
