"This wine is fresh and vibrant, with aromas of baked black cherry, strawberry-rhubarb jelly and dried sage. Other notes waft through, including blackberry confiture, black tea and allspice. Layers of mocha, sweet cigar, chicory and minerality lead to a dry, supple finish." - Wine Enthusiast
This Zinfandel opens with a bouquet of bright red fruit aromas with a touch of oak spice that settle to resemble zesty cherry jam in the glass. Light spice runs across the mid-palate, carrying a burst of supple tannins that linger on the finish.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
