Winery Review: This White Zinfandel has a beautiful pink salmon color and crisp acidity. The wine shows juicy fruit flavors of strawberry and cherry, with a tangy sweet finish. Pairs well with mild cheeses, crab cakes, and spicy Asian cuisine. 

My Review: This wine was predictable. The usual, candy-like, sweet, white zinfandel. On the nose, this wine displayed an overwhelming aroma of strawberry. On the palate is was very sweet, showing it's probable high levels of residual sugars. The taste was very much like a strawberry jolly rancher, with hints of apple and cherry. I did not like this wine. Way too sweet for my liking, and definitely tasted like a $7 wine.
