What to Expect

Zinfandel is considered America's own great indigenous grape, even though its origins lie on the Adriatic coast. Planted throughout California and the Pacific Northwest, Zinfandel is at its best in warm regions with cooler temperatures during harvest. The wines can range from off-dry Rosés, White Zinfandels, and light bistro styled wines, to big, rich powerful wines - even luscious wines for dessert bottling. The flavors range from plummy to raspberry, although deep blackberry fruit and brambly spice tones are most common.

Only 13.9% as per the label, promising. A rather subdued nose of really dusty earth, a touch reduced/rubbery, lightly red fruited, raspberry bubblegum and pencil eraser with a nice touch of tarragon stems and vanilla. A bit sweet up front, nice kind of rough and tumble Zinfandel with slightly brambly black raspberry liquor fruit, a bit of spice, a bit of earth and a hint of vanilla that lead to the pleasantly fruit and nicely fresh finish. Nicely expressed fruit without a huge winemaking imprint. Nice zesty finish with earth and spice notes and a lightly mineral edge. Bring on the ribs! 87pts

Some fruit. Reminds me of heart shaped runts. Smells like goodness. RASPBERRY! Took me a few minutes, but I got the scent! A little floral in the mouth. Some good acid. Not bad.

this definitely lives up to its name as it is both deep and extremely purple. peppery, raspberry creme fraiche. Probably one of the juiciest fruit bombs i have ever had. It tastes like those raspberry creme-savers mixed with the raspberry fruit bars (fruit roll-ups) from the 80's.

Very fruity. Smells and tastes of very ripe beautiful strawberries with a few raspberries mixed in.

Complex musty nose, 'only' 13.9% alcohol. Very rich, with great mouthfeel. Fruit boarding on licorice, which has flavors of green pepper on the finish.
