Tasting - White Zinfandel (Crane Lake)

Name: White Zinfandel

Variety of grapes: Zinfandel

Country of origin: USA

Region of origin: California

Vintage year: 2019

Price: $6.95

Bottle Description:
"Taste is strawberry, peach, and raspberry. The flavor profile is medium sweet."



Wine Folly Text:
Page 189 of the text describes the Zinfandel grape variety. This grape can have hints of blackberry, strawberry, peach preserves, cinnamon, and sweet tobacco flavors. In the wine that we had I was only able to taste the peach. It is described as low is sweetness and high in tannins, which I would agree with.

My Review:
This wine had a fruity complex that was dominated by a peach flavor. I was not able to distinguish the strawberry or raspberry flavors that were described on the bottle. This was a drier wine than I prefer, but it was not horrible. Overall I was okay with this wine, but I have tried other White Zinfandel's that I liked more so I probably would not buy this one again.
