Wine Critic Review: Sweet layers of vibrant red fruit. Aromas of mandarin orange and sweet jasmine. Subtle flavors of cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate.
My Review: Smells excruciatingly sweet. Tastes like a cherry bomb in the face with a hint of raspberry. Almost too sweet, but it's quite smooth. Honeyed sweetness.

Wine Tasting #23
Name: Vendange White Zinfandel
Variety: Zinfandel
Region: Lodi, California
Country: America
Year: no year located?
Price: $4.99
Wine Critic Review: A light-to-medium bodied wine with an easygoing sociable character. Lovely salmon pink color, with light flowery fruity aromas highlighted by strawberry and a touch of lemon.
My Review: Smells like cheap wine, but the taste isn't too bad. A slight biting aftertaste but I think it has a more flowery taste.

Name: Milo Sweet White Wine
Variety: Blended
Region: Mendoza
Country: Argentina
Year: 2016
Price: $11.99
Wine Critic Review: Natural sweet wine harvest at the end of April, when the vines have the maximum level of sugar per kilogram. Great tropical notes in the nose resemble sweet honey and ripe peaches.
My Review: Smells nicer, sweeter, a bit like a mixture of honey and apple. Has a bite of an aftertaste. Acidic tones overpower sweetness, but there's still a very slight apple flavor.

Name: Twisted Old Vine Zinfandel
Variety: Zinfandel
Region: Manteca, California
Country: America
Year: 2016
Price: $6.19
Wine Critic Review: Medium-bodied with aromas of wild blackberry, plum, and a hint of spice. Concentrated ripe stone fruit, dark berry flavors and toasted oak carry through the palate. Nicely balanced acidity and plush tannins lead to a lingering finish.
My Review: Smells dry, bold, and alcoholic. Jammy with blackberry and unpleasant. Spicy undertones with the blackberry punch and a bitter aftertaste.

Variety: Riesling
Region: Mattawa, Washington
Country: America
Year: 2018
Price: $12.99
Wine Critic Review: With aromas of white peach, lime leaves, Linden tree, and crush stone finish long and fresh.
My Review: Smells slightly grassy, and a little like honey. Has a very sweet taste than I'm used to, honeyed sweet. A hint of pear and apple mix. Possibly the best Riesling I've tried thus far.

Name: Root & Vine Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Modesto, California
Country: America
Year: 2015
Price: $6.99
Wine Critic Review: Rich and velvety. Deep but light berry and oak flavor. Tobacco nuances.
My review: First it smells terrible, like way to strong lavender. Taste does not suit me at all. It honestly reminded me of pain lacquer, but with an odd hint of tobacco.

Name: Beringer Main&Vine White Zinfandel
Variety: Zinfandel
Region: Sonoma, California
Country: America
Year: No year located on bottle for harvest.
Price: $4.99
Wine Critic Review: Fresh and delicious with berry-like flavors and aromas of citrus and honeydew.
My Review: It smells amazing, like strawberries coated in sugar. Wow. I was not expecting the taste for the price. It's good, sweet, specifically a mixture of strawberries and blueberries. A very slight acidic touch of sweet apples, but it's not bitter and pretty great for the price.
