Tasting - 19 Crimes


Name: 19 Crimes Cali Red
Variety: Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Merlot
Country: USA
Region: California
Vintage: 2020
Price: $14

Wine Critic's review: "Snoop Dogg 19 Crimes Cali Red tastes like a nicely balanced red blend, with notes of black cherry, vanilla and candied raspberry. I found the taste to include 2 flavors that occurred in succession. First, black cherry with a slight hint of vanilla. Second, a transition to a lighter, candied raspberry. This one two punch occurred very consistently and I thoroughly it. A simple complexity, if there is such a thing! At first sip, you might notice some lightly-sweet black cherry but it soon transitions to a long-finishing candied raspberry flavor. Snoop Dogg 19 Crimes Cali Red had a juicy mouthfeel with noticeable and well-integrated tannins."

Wine folly book: pg. 131,189 - References to dark chocolate, blueberry, herbs, plum, vanilla, and cherry. It definitely had hints of chocolate from the smell and it had a nice vanilla aftertaste. Blueberry was very evident. 

My review: This was one of my favorite wines I've tried thus far. The vanilla aftertaste was very enjoyable and made me want to drink more. The overall blueberry flavor was delicious and not too overbearing, which is good because I dislike a wine that's too bold or bitter.
