Chardonnay (2013) – Trump Winery

I recently discovered vegan friendly wines from a local winery, Trump Winery located in Charlottesville, Virginia. The 2013 Chardonnay from Trump Winery is a crisp, well-balanced wine with a creamy texture. The wine is both aromatic and youthful. This Chardonnay evokes citrus aromas resembling zesty lemon, green apple, honeysuckle, vanilla, melon and grass. At the end of the sip, this Chardonnay will leave a smooth finish with hints of vanilla and citrus. Until the next bottle as I sip this one away!

Zinfandel (2012) - Rombauer Vineyards

Rombauer Vineyards is another Napa County winemaker, which in my opinion produces excellent wines from Napa grown grapes. On this occasion, I had the pleasure of tasting their 2012 Zinfandel. The aroma intensity was low and youthful with hints of dark fruits, blackberries, some red fruits, red currant, and dark plum. This Zinfandel was an off dry wine with medium body, flabby acidity, and overall moderate intensity. Regarding flavors, I detected a slight sweetness almost like a black jam, some clove and oaky-vanilla spices. Along came a medium finish about four seconds average for each sip. The aromas and flavor intensity were moderate at best, and I highly recommend decanting or airing the wine as it can almost be described as a semi-closed wine.

Not all wines are vegan friendly?

While wine is made from fermented grapes or other fruits, some wines are not vegan because of the clarification and stabilization process, specifically the fining agents used in the process.
