E & J Gallo's White Zinfandel is a classic 2001 from the Sierra Foothills.

A twinkling Rose coloured wine with a tint of golden-straw, the colour will come as a distinct, pleasant surprise.

This wine features a pleasant floral aroma, fresh strawberry and juicy peach flavors, and a delicate finish.

A mysterious sweet, medium-dry crispness and a nice fruit finish make it a versatile wine with a variety of food. Pair it with nice Hummus bi tahina, your favorite cheeses, or skewered prawns and it will show its magic.

A bunch of us got together and explored a 2001 label. It takes a while to open up. Swirl it well in your glass, and roll it in your mouth to experience it blooming. The sulphur may be on the upside as some felt a mild headache. Overall, an amazing experience!
