Terlato Vineyards
The Federalist Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel
Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
AFFORDABLE wines YOU ASK?
Here is THE FEDERALIST, zinfandel from dry creek valley. 2018. The boquet is raspberry and rubarb pie. The beginning starts with buttery smooth tart berry jam on toast and develops a  Black licorice beginning. The mid palate delivers a punch of spice and pepper and that wonderful cedar impression. The finish is very smooth and again buttery and semidry.  I will purchase this again at a low price of 20 bucks a bottle.

Very generous, big time extraction boasting super ripe rich dark fruit & spice - very broad & viscous across the mid palate, finely grained tannins, not much in the way of acidity and bordering on a Fruit Bomb bit quite enjoyable. Oh, it’s hot and needs time to unwind & burn off 15% ABV

Best I have had in awhile. Jammy and deep and delicious!

Spicy, but you can definitely taste the 15% alcohol. Red pepper flakes and muted finish.

Sweet and overbearing . Although not my type of wine (zero subtlety), there is a ton of big ripe red and blue fruit, with stewed prunes in the finish .
