| Community Tasting Notes (average 79.4 pts. and median of 81 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by BoireBio on 2/7/2013 & rated 73 points: 12/20 * * LCBO:15$c
VISUEL: rubis au pourtour légèrement violet
OLFACTIF: sucré/épicé avec une forte odeur de clou de girofle.
GUSTATIF: le clou de girofle persiste bizarrement.... je soupçonne un vin trafiqué par des levures et des ajouts synthétiques et peu fiables. Un Zinfandel ne peut goûter cela.
ENSEMBLE: louche..... (2034 views) | | | Tasted by monotone on 7/5/2012 & rated 85 points: Peppery and spicy without much fruit. Bold, good taste. (2664 views) | | | Tasted by Robrnc on 2/6/2012 & rated 81 points: Good lite some jam some pepper. (2629 views) | | | Tasted by boldntannic on 6/1/2011 & rated 75 points: Decanted with the Vinturi and allowed to open up for 45 minutes.
Color: Deep garnet.
Nose: Not much fruit on the nose. Some spice and pepper.
Body: Medium
Taste: About what one would expect from the nose; that is, a little spice, a little pepper, not particularly fruity. Little to no structure, which isn't a surprise at this price point ($4.49).
Finish: Short, not much finish.
Overall: Pretty average offering for the price point. (2814 views) |
| Smoking Loon 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 CaliforniaNapa Valley.http://www.stagecoachvineyard.com/vineyards/our_vineyards.php
