Consumption Date: 6/13/2013
Notes: Intense aroma of
leafy undergrowth with some jammy dark berries and distinct penetrating alcohol
and tar notes. Full-flavored with loads
of dry leaves and wood, jammy raisin and dark berry fruit, and a hint of
tar. Finishes long with more dry wood,
leaves, and cedar spice. Lots of chewy,
almost (but not quite) bitter tannin.
This is pretty much what I
expect from a high quality California Zinfandel. While a little more fruit (which might have
been present if drunk younger) would have been ideal, this has plenty of Zin
character and intensity. Not super
complex, but decent for the price point.
Definitely a step up from the Mayo Zin I had recently.
Value: Good
