Wine Maker Review: "Crane Lake Merlot is a medium-bodied, round wine with classic black currant and plum fruit flavors on the palate and a smooth finish. Pull the cork for instant enjoyment!"
My Review: This wine was surprisingly sweet. There was a noticeably tannic finish and lots of brighter fruit flavor, not much of the deep dark fruits. Honestly this reminds me of a red sangria. Like slight red wine taste but more sweet and punch-y. Its a very strange merlot. It kind of even tastes like a flat sprite at the end. This one was very strange I cannot say that I am a fan. Maybe it went bad cause it really does taste like flat sprite with koolaide and Burnette's in it. Not so much instant enjoyment.
