This wine was a request for a review by a visitor to our site. We heard good things about it and figured we would go ahead and give it a try. We actually bought it once before and planned on reviewing it; but then just ended up having it with dinner and missed out on reviewing it. Since we really liked it, we felt like we needed make a point to review it… so here we go!!!! |

- Rich aromas of vanilla and over ripe berries
- Sweet components yet nicely balanced
- Very smooth and easy drinking
- Flavors of plum on the tip of the tongue
- Subtle sweetness that leads to a pretty good finish
- A good wine that feels a little like a nice visit from your grandmother. She is sweet and charming but not overly gushing with wet kisses. Her stories charm you and when she leaves it almost feels as if she is still here.

I picked this wine up because I was looking for something a little different than the traditional Chianti to have with my Penne and sausage that I was making tonight. I normally shy away from Zinfandels but for some reason I figured I would give this a try. The one I picked up is the 2005 and I noticed that they had the 2006 there as well. I am really interested in trying both of them. |

- A bit overpowering at first
- Sort of vinegary in the beginning
- Fruit flavors are muddled and hard to pick apart
- I could taste a bit of black cherry and this may sound weird but I detected a slight hint of kiwi on the finish
- After letting the wine breathe for a while I began to pick up some raspberry in the taste
- This is a wine that would really benefit from decanting.
- This wine is like the new guy at the office. He comes in and is very loud and somewhat obnoxious. You are turned off by his bad breath that smells of rotten pepperoni and you are a little upset over the fact that you have to work with him. In time his hygiene may improve to the point that it is bearable and he is slowly becoming less abrasive…but….you still may not want to have him over for dinner.

This wine is an old vine Zinfandel from Lodi, California. I picked this up for an end of the summer get together at my condo before heading back to work for the school year. |

- Great aroma in the glass of fresh fruit
- Heavy, Heavy, Heavy alcohol tastes
- A bit of spice and oak was noticed after decanting
- Slight burst of cherry at first but then masked by the overpowering flavor of alcohol.
- I was all excited about this wine since I was celebrating the end of my summer with friends….Only problem….the wine was not. Drinking this wine was like getting all dressed up and excited for a date you have been waiting for…..only to have the girl call you 15 minutes before you leave to tell you she cannot make it. Huge let down to say the least.
