The story

The story behind Crane Lake

Crane Lake is a Bronco Wine Company label, and Bronco was founded in 1973 by brothers Fred T. and Joseph S. Franzia with their cousin John G. Franzia. The Crane Lake brand reached shelves in 1994. Grapes come from family-owned vineyards across California, then the wine is cellared and bottled in Napa and Sonoma under winemaker Emily DuBoce, in a facility certified to TRUE Zero Waste standards.

It is bottled non-vintage on purpose, so the glass you open in March tastes like the one you opened in September. Bright blackberry, cherry, raspberry and pepper sit over soft tannins with light oak and vanilla. We have poured Crane Lake for customers who want a Tuesday red without a Tuesday argument.
