Wine #12: Canyon Road(again...) White Zinfandel

Canyon Road White Zinfandel 2013

Here's a little science for you: Why are all white wines more recently bottled than reds? White wines like this one contain little to no acidity, so the fruit flavors are very apparent. More acidity can deter sugar-craving bacteria that make wines go bad, so the lacking whites need to come into a bottle and off the shelves sooner rather than later (2013).

So when we use the phrase "like a fine wine," we're talking about reds most of the time.

Smell: bright, like its color. A bit like fruit grown with fresh flowers.

Taste: The fruitiest one by far, with hints of strawberry and other berries. The whole gang's here. Not terrible.

Verdict: 3.5/5
