Tasting - White Zinfandel (Crane Lake)

 

  • Name: White Zinfandel

  • Variety of the grapes: Zinfandel

  • Country of origin: USA

  • Region of origin: California

  • Vintage year: 2019

  • Price: $6.95


Winery Review: “Taste is strawberry, peach, and raspberry. The flavor profile is medium sweet.”

Wine Folly: On page 189 the text mentions the Zinfandel grape variety and its characteristics. Zinfandel grapes have hints of blackberry, strawberry, peach preserves, cinnamon, and sweet tobacco flavors but I did not taste all of those flavors except the peach and strawberry. It is supposed to be kind of low in sweetness and was kind of high in tannins, which I agreed with.

My Review: This wine had a fruity, almost peachy flavor. I did not taste strawberry, or raspberry.  It was drier than the other white zinfandels that I have tried. I do not think that I enjoyed it as much because I enjoyed the other white zinfandels more than this. Overall, I liked this wine, but I do not think that I would buy it again considering that there are other white zinfandels that I like, but I would drink it again. To be honest, I do not remember all too much from this. I think that I was trying to forget about her... she LOVED PEACHESSSSS. SHE WAS MY LITTLE PEACH
