Beringer White Zinfandel
Zinfandel
California
United States
2012
$8.00 a bottle
This wine is light rose in color, almost approaching pink. In the glass, this wine is not heavy by any means. No legs here, just a sheeting action on the sides of the glass that quickly dissipates. Interestingly, after the wine was consumed, you could see a layer of residue on the bottom of the glass.
The aroma of the wine was light and bright. It was also very lofty, though more so noticed upon the initial pour. Less so after a moment or two. The nose was of fresh fruits and perhaps a hint of candy apple.
The wine’s taste was very sweet, as expected. Given the light appearance of the wine, you may be surprised that the taste is a bit “darker” then might be expected. This is primarily due to the sweetness of the wine.
The finish of the Beringer White Zinfandel was long and noticeable all over the mouth. A very slight bitter taste was noticed at the long end of the finish.
Overall, this wine makes for a good summer sipper. It definitely needs to be serve chilled and you’ll find that recommendation on the bottle. The relatively lower alcohol content also makes it a better sipper. Pair this with a cookout on the grill and beach volleyball! A good starter wine for a younger legal aged wine consumer.
My Review
The wine is a dark pink at first glance but could be a lighter pink in different lighting (I was at Boudreaux's).
The wine smelled very light with lots of fruity flavors coming out, specifically raspberry and cherry.
The wine tasted incredibly fruity with a lot of strawberry and cherry coming out. Very smooth at first, but slightly acidic on the way down.
Overall I thought this wine was very good for the price, easy to drink and good flavor.
This wine was tasted after a meal as sort of a dessert wine, which could make it have tasted sweeter than it normally would have.
