Crane Lake White Zinfandel

Name: Crane Lake
Variety: White Zinfandel
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $5.95
Shop/Critic/Winery Review: "Light pink wine with floral and tropical aromas: flavors of strawberry, peach and raspberry with a touch of sweetness. This wine is an easy sipping wine that also pairs well with a wide variety of foods ranging from crab cakes or pâté to spicy Asian dishes, glazed ham, and grilled sea bass."

My impressions:
Sweet and grapey nose.  Strawberries and raspberries through the mid-palate.  Short, sweet finish.  Not bad, but... I've gotta say.  I get skeeved out seeing Zinfandel as anything but a full-bodies red.  White zinfandel just screams "YUPPIE!!" to me. So I judge it a lot more harshly than it (maybe) should be.
