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.

Reviews

Rating: 3/5 - As reviewed by Decanter Full bodied and pack with ripe blackberry and black plum fruit, with a dash of black pepper. Tannins are a bit coarse, so drink with food. Drink 2006.

Dark garnet-purple in color with aromas of black raspberry, sage and vanilla. Rich in the mouth with very ripe blackberry fruit, black pepper and spice finishing with supple tannins. A very nice soft and jammy Zin for the money.

14.3% ABV
Natural cork closure

Pleasant moderately priced zin. Not too hot or fruity, with a bit of terroir to balance dark fruits.
