Tasting - Bay Bridge Vineyards White Zinfandel



Today... we will be exploring the depths of wine in tasting this White Zinfandel from Bay Bridge Vineyards. This wine is from the Bay Bridge winery located in California, USA. The grape variety is a Zinfandel grape and is of the style of a Californian Rose and only cost $3.59.

According to tastings.com this Zinfandel has a crisp and lively, fruity, juicy and smooth and non-oaky style. Smells and tastes of watermelon candies, apple lollipop, and cherry taffy. This wine is a dryish wine best enjoyed now on its own or with food! And I couldn't agree more, this wine had a floral and sweet smell, almost of vanilla to me. Tasted of cherry, red apple, strawberry and peach. To me this wine was sweet to medium-sweet in taste. According to wine folly on page 94 a white Zinfandel (which is a rose) is supposed to have notes of strawberry, rose petal and orange peel. Overall, I would rate this wine well, did not eat anything with this one, just crushed a bottle of it for an afternoon delight. Would recommend if you're looking to save some money, cant beat that value for such a good wine.

  TASTING - Flourish Chardonnay  Today... we will be exploring the depths of wine in tasting 2020 Chardonnay from Flourish. This is a 2020 vintage Chardonnay made from the Chardonnay grape by Juan Cerna in Mendocino County, Sonoma, California, USA and costs $13.99.  According to tourguidewines.com this wine "Smells like butterscotch, pineapple and vanilla. Tastes like melon, pineapple and vanilla." I could not agree more. This chardonnay was a very big vanilla oak aged flavored wine. I smelled this and immediately noticed the sweetness that was imparted by the aged oak barrel. I smelled apple, butter, and starfruit. When I tasted it, it taste of green apple, vanilla and chalk. A semi-sweet wine, I would recommend this wine. According to wine foley page 72, this wine is supposed to taste of yellow apple, starfruit, pineapple, butter and chalk. With this, my tasting, and the review, I would recommend this wine. Tasted good by itself. 9/10.

  TASTING - TWO SHILLING RED Today... we will be exploring the depths of wine in tasting Two Shilling Red, an American Red table wine. This non-vintage wine is made from a blend of red grapes, originally from The Williamsburg Winery in Virginia, USA and cost $9.99.  According to titalwine.com this wine is a light bodied blend in the tradition of the wines of Beaujolais. According to 114 reviews on vivino.com this wine has notes of cherry, raspberry, black cherry and jam. A good fruity nose with no hint of sweetness in the taste. Personally I could not agree more. In my tasting notes I wrote that the nose of it smelled sweet adn fruity like dark cherries and plum and the taste was drier than eating sand. After the initial shock of how dry it was I noted flavors of raspberry, black tea and flowers. According to Wine Folly page 98, these flavors are what make a Beaujolai, Violet, black tea, sour cherry, raspberry, plum, boysenberry, potting soil and truffle are the flavor aspects...
