Tasting - "Sutter Home White Zinfandel"

Name: Sutter Home White Zinfandel
Variety: White
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2012
Price: N/A (friend purchased the bottle)

Wine-Maker's Notes: "You may blush with excitement over this fresh, lively wine. Beauty in a bottle, our light, refreshing White Zinfandel wine flirts with your tongue, as you taste essences of strawberry and melon. Perfect with all types of food, we recommend pairing it with something a little spicy such as Asian or Latin cuisine."

Review: The initial smell was a fruity sweet, that of a peach.  It definitely was pleasant to the nose, rather than being overly sharp in sweetness, but rather, just a nice calm and chill sweetness.  The initial taste was, again, sweet, but the taste was more watermelony rather than peachy.  This wine was very calm and subtle in flavor, more mellow in its sweetness than other white wines.  Not a bad choice of wine, and definitely would say is worth the try.
