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.

So much fruit! I'd recommend this wine to anyone with no taste buds left. It is bound to get through!

14.5%! Soooo fruity - not hot, but it has been open for 4 days. Smells like pressed blackcurrents. Sweet fruit, cloves and spice. Some short tannins on the finish. Very gulpable (but i'd be hammered)

I love this wine. I wonder about the pricier versions. Even better?
