Tasting - 'Woodbridge Red Blend 2017'




Name: Woodbridge Red Blend 2017

Variety: Blend

Country: United States

Region: California

Vintage: 2017

Cost: $5

Wine Shop Review: "Our Red Blend combines some of the finest attributes of Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, and Syrah with a touch of other complementary reds, resulting in a deliciously rich, full-bodied blend. The wine offers warm, toasty aromas and flavors, including jammy blackberry, vanilla, and baking spices. It's full and rich with a long, flavorful finish. Our hearty Red Blend pairs well with savory dishes like burgers, barbeque, sausages, potato skins, and other fried foods." -Allendalewine.com

Wine Folly: pg.290 "California wine started quite humbly 240 years ago at the mission de Alcala in san diego...Today, California makes us 80% of US wine." 

My Review:

- Color: Very dark, almost black, very opaque

- Smell: Spice, cherry

- Taste: smooth, oaky, buttery, cherry

- Overall: pretty good, the oak may become overwhelming after continued consumption. I would and may purchase this again

Tasting - 'Provisions Chardonnay'

Name: Provisions Chardonnay Variety: Chardonnay Country: Chile Region: Central Valley Vintage: Unknown Cost: $5 My Review: - Color: pale yellow - Smell: fruity, some sort of berry  - Taste:  a bit sour with a woody aftertaste, a little smokey even - Overall: Decent, could drink again, but probably won't. Wine Sh op Review: " lively boysenberry, crushed lilacs, black pepper, and cola on the nose. Being young, it still has strong tannins despite a relatively light body, with olallieberry and dried violet flavors proving interestingly Rhône-like in style." - Drizly.com Wine Folly: pg 215 "The cooler coastal areas is where you'll find the best chardonnay. The most popular style is buttery from oak aging and comes from Casablanca and san antonio valleys. the outer regions of limari and Aconcagua offer the most minerality and are uniquely salty."
