The 2013 Sauvignon Blanc from Trump Winery is an excellent wine...as I'm sipping this wine away, I can only think about buying more bottles to keep a stock in the cellar. This wine is easy to drink and will attract both the wine curious and the connoisseur. The best thing is that this is a vegan-friendly wine since it is unfiltered and fined with bentonite.
Read MoreRombauer 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.
