Winking Owl California White Zinfandel Tasting Review



Name: Winking Owl California White Zinfandel

Variety: Zinfandel

Region: California

Country: USA

Year: N/A

Price: $2.95 from Aldi


Online review: 3.4/5

Date: 2017

User: Taleena

“Very pale pink in color. Nose is almost identical to a watermelon Jolly Rancher hard candy. Flavors of cherry and watermelon, with a faint hint of acidity and pink grapefruit. Finish is slightly tart and pretty short. Definitely not a bad white zin for $3 a bottle.”

Taleena on Vivino

  • Slight cat pee smell with a faint hint of rose

  • Light bodied


My Review: 5/10 for being meh

  • Not a lot of smell or taste it's just overall meh and lightly watery

  • It tasted better than it smelled but the flavor is not what I expected

  • Not fruity tasting despite its light rose color

  • The first sip seemed carbonated in my mouth

  • Swishing gives it a rubbing alcohol feeling in my mouth

  • The label is a lie because I am not getting any of those flavors or smells
