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.

Light vanilla tones are backed by lots of astringent red fruits, red currant and pomegranate, with a hint of herb and roast meatiness. Enters with sweet red fruits, slightly exotic berries fruits, fruit di bosco, nice freshness and good balance that help to hide it’s 16% Very candied but in a fresh way, sugared raspberries with a peppery cinnamon edge for balance, Nic crisp tannins and a lovely stemmy tone add length to the finish. 88pts

Not my style, but it has its merits. Some cherry/strawberry fruits with a mild tangy sweetness, accompanied by strong wood flavors. Pretty simple.

Pretty well-contained enjoyable zin. Gentile nose with lots of dirt. Well balanced and sweet without being too sugary. Grainy short finish. Middle of the road for me.
