Tasting - Black Ridge White Zinfandel


Name: Black Ridge White Zinfandel
Varietal: Zinfandel
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: NV
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: I wasn't so taken with this wine. It was definitely fruity and light, smelling strongly of cherry, particularly the cough syrup flavor. Overall, this White Zinfandel tasted like Kool-Aid. After trying so many wines this semester, I've come to expect and appreciate more complexity, so the simplicity of this was a bit of a let down.
