Review from online: "Lovely strawberry, raspberry & cotton candy! A fun wine. Paired with a strawberry, spinach, feta & roasted walnut salad - the combination was amazing!!" - Madaleine, https://www.vivino.com/users/madaleine.brookes/reviews/144390152
Wine Folly notes (https://winefolly.com/grapes/zinfandel/):"White Zinfandel is a kind of rosé. It is sweet and has aromas of bright red fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries, cherries, and rich citrus. According to Sutter Home, a tank of their Oeil de Perdrix (a saignée rosé wine) got “stuck” in mid-fermentation. The yeasts died before eating all the sugars, and the wine was ruined!

However, when the winemaker tasted it, he found the bitterness in the wine had “disappeared” with the residual sugar. Better yet, customers loved it!"
My review: The wine is sweet (more melon-esque than berry-esque) throughout, and has a little kick at the end. It reminds me of the color orange? Very sweet, but not heavy. Did not eat this with food, but can see it pairing well with a pastry.
