| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.9 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 36 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by OaktownRush on 6/24/2019 & rated 90 points: Slightly lighter style Zinfandel. Red fruit, wood smoke, and a touch of balsamic. Decent acidity. This feels open on the palate and completely resolved -- maybe doesn't have the palate intensity that some will look for. Quite good though. (1050 views) | | | Tasted by RMacFMayer on 12/28/2018 & rated 93 points: Wonderful powerful yet subtle rub of flavors, opened after 30 minutes decanting (1193 views) | | | Tasted by Millennial Drinkers on 6/9/2018 & rated 92 points: Medium to deep ruby red. Complex nose with layers of anise, a bit savory, bramble berries, floral, a touch blue too with some plums and black pepper. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium plus body. Dark cocoa on the palate with some licorice, cinnamon, dark red berries that grows darker and layered spices. Long finish. Drink till 2025. (1622 views) | | | Tasted by Haneyar on 4/18/2018: good flavor not under powered and not jammy (1273 views) | | | Tasted by Livello on 2/17/2018 & rated 92 points: Very light for a Zinfandel on opening. After decanting and getting air for an hour it tasted of darker fruits and much of the acidity had smoothed out. Fantastic QPR.

Still pretty tasty and easy tp drink (1546 views) | | | Tasted by Tha_WB on 11/17/2017 & rated 90 points: Great balance. This was a pnp at an after party I hosted. Didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. It went well with a quick batch of braised veal nachos. (936 views) | | | Tasted by Coupe 60 on 8/30/2017 & rated 89 points: PnP, and had with pizza dinner with family. Tasty wine, fairly full bodied with dark red fruit. Soft tannins. Tasty and a crowd pleaser. Well made in a style I like. I could even be light on my 89 points (1645 views) | | | Tasted by Ridgerunner on 5/16/2017 & rated 90 points: good zin, but not wonderful, We have high standards for Zin around here (1351 views) | | | Tasted by EMark on 12/10/2016: Wow big hit of red fruit on entry—plum, cherry, strawberry. Sadly, almost syrupy, though, not sweetish like many fruit forward wines can be. Very mellow on the tannin. Not a particularly “big” wine in spite of its 15% ABV. It’s not an awful wine, but it lacks sophistication and I won’t be seeking more. (2425 views) | | | Tasted by ScottS on 3/8/2015: meh, would not purchase again. (1984 views) | | | Tasted by Spencer on 1/5/2015: Enjoyable, bright, balanced Zinfandel. Not sure I would buy again (or any Zin, really) at this price, though.

| Chester's Anvil Producer websiteZinfandel ZAP: Zinfandel Advocates & Producers | Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wikipedia-ZinfandelUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Napa Valley Napa Valley Wineries and Wine (Napa Valley Vintners)Atlas Peak Atlas Peak Appellation Association |
