Tasting- Black Ridge White Zinfandel


Name: Black Ridge Vineyards NV
Variety: Zinfandel
Region: California (Central Coast)
Price: $3.95
Vintage Cellar Review: This fruit forward White Zinfandel displays fresh aromas and crisp flavors of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. It is incredibly food friendly and will pair well with burgers, sandwiches, fruit salad, and more.

My Review: Whereas I thought this one would be sweet, in comparison to the sauvignon blanc, this one was on the opposite end of the spectrum. The smell was quite pungent, herbal, and minerally with an overall tea sensation. The taste was actually sweet by comparison with a nice bite of acidity. The fruit of this wine was on the bright red raspberries and strawberries, but didn't overpower the entire wine.
