Nov 15th, 2020Ruby hue with high saturation. Aromas and flavors of earthy, espresso, oak, pepper, plum, sour cherry, and vanilla. Medium-plus body; firm, medium-plus tannins; and medium-plus acidity. A bold and complex nose with a smooth, dry, spicy, and lengthy finish. Blend of 88% Zinfandel and 12% Petite Sirah. Bonus points for QPR (bought for $7 at Grocery Outlet).

Broad and fruity without any particular flavor. So-so table wine with a meh finish. Not crying about it for $8.99. But I’m not sure I’d get it again.

Lighter body for a zin, but flavorful, cherry character. Good legs. Good value.

Dark like squid ink and avocado skins. Maybe a slight plum skin on the lip. Nose is creosote, blackberries in syrup, and humeric soil fresh tilled. Flavor is decent. Licorice, plums, burnt cherries and blackberry jam. Pretty smooth. Drinks easy and bright. Lacks tartness and chewy character from tannins. A coastal style Zin done adequately, but ho hum over-all. Good value at G.O. price though.
