Tasting Entry- Baby Bridge Vineyards - Red Blend

 Tasting Wine: Bay Bridge Vineyards - Red Blend  Variety of Grapes: Californian red blend(unknown)  Shop/Wine Review: Notes of cherry, jam, and apple. Wine Folly Review: Notes of cherry, and licorice. It was very sweet and had an easy finish, there were definitely fruity aromas in the primary aroma.(p31-36).  My Review: My personal review is not very positive towards this wine. It was extremely cheap and I purchased it due to budgetary restraints(never again). I will not sacrifice taste in this manner again unless I'm just trying to get hammered. This wine was not pleasant and I would not recommend it.

There were definitely fruit forward flavors evident in the wine as well. It did taste similar to other cab sauv's that I have had, but also had different notes to it. I was not able to taste the tobacco really because I don't know what tobacco tastes like.  My review: I really enjoyed this wine with a few of my friends and while I did not taste the tobacco hints I still was able to like this wine. I did not eat any food whi

I drank this wine with one of boys and some girl I've seen a couple times I guess she's okay. EITHER WAY, I am in this to win this. I want to get the most points I can get in this class and so I am writing this wine review to get the MOST points. So, lets get ready to rumble! Name: Knotty Vines Variety of Grapes: Idk what grapes because it is a blend Year: 2018 Winery Review:  This vintage rates better than any other year for this wine(please don't hate me this is all I could find.) Wine Folly Review:   This wine had notes of blueberry, blackberry, and plum as well. My friend Tanner noticed some notes of leather in this too but I didn't taste that. Either way, I really appreciate the fruit forward flavors from this wine (pg.30-36). I like the blackberry, blueberry flavored wine. Also, this wine was surprisingly
