Winery Review: At Bay Bridge Vineyards, we carefully select grapes from some of the finest vineyards to craft wines with vibrant fruit and elegant structure. Bay Bridge wines are full of flavor, rich in color and smooth in taste, which makes them delicious and the perfect accompaniment to any meal. This refreshing, fruit-forward White Zinfandel has aromas of ripe strawberries and raspberries with the perfect touch of sweetness. Pairs well with baked Brie. [1]

Wine Folly: In 1994, Zinfandel was shown to share the same DNA as Italian Primitivo and Croatian Tribidrag. Zinfandel bursts with candied fruit and tobacco but is often surprisingly dry with minerally tannins and high alcohol. Sonoma and Lodi offer a fantastic comparison.[2]

My Review: I found this wine very fruity with strong cherry smell and taste along with other berry flavors like strawberries. I tried this wine at room temperature and would recommend chilling slightly to cut some of the sweetness that is present. I also found this wine to be a little flabby and lacking complexity in flavor.
