Tasting - Bay Bridge White Zinfandel

Name: Bay Bridge White Zinfandel 

Variety: White Zinfandel
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: N/A
Price: $3

Winery Review: At Bay Bridge Vineyards, we carefully select grapes from some of the finest vineyards to craft wines with vibrant fruit and elegant structure. Bay Bridge wines are full of flavor, rich in color and smooth in taste, which makes them delicious and the perfect accompaniment to any meal. This refreshing, fruit-forward White Zinfandel has aromas of ripe strawberries and raspberries with the perfect touch of sweetness. Pairs well with baked Brie. [1]


Wine Folly: 
In 1994, Zinfandel was shown to share the same DNA as Italian Primitivo and Croatian Tribidrag. Zinfandel bursts with candied fruit and tobacco but is often surprisingly dry with minerally tannins and high alcohol. Sonoma and Lodi offer a fantastic comparison.[2]

My Review: It tasted a little funky, and was overly sweet and kind of flabby. I overall enjoyed it, it was good for a 3$ wine. It was very floral and not had hints of peach in it. The wine was good, would have it again if I wanted to get drunk on something cheap.
