This fruit forward White Zinfandel displays fresh aromas and crisp flavors of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. It is incredibly food friendly and will pair well with burgers,sandwiches, fruit salad, and more.

Name: Ksana Bonardo

My Review:  
It had a salty smell to it. The taste was a bit oaky and tad smoky as well. It was very dark in color. I thought it was just an 'ok' wine.

Critics Review:
The bouquet is floral and lightly jammy, with berry aromas and a savory note or two. To the uninitiated, this is a great introduction to Bonarda. Finishes solid. Very sweet, berry smell with some rooty undertones. Kind of dry, makes your lips pucker

My Review:  
It was very dark in color. It had a very think texture to it. I didn't particularly care for this wine.

Critics Review:
This is an extremely rich, full-bodied wine with a dark fruit core. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, cassis and dark cherry are followed by more berry fruits and chocolate and mocha on the palate.
