Highly Rated Zinfandel, Episode #316 (9/17/2007)
Other California Red Zinfandel. #3; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-dark; NOSE-immediate migraine headache from the massive amount of Hi-C fakey-fake fruit punch; TASTE-an enormous amount of people will LOVE this wine, but for me, it's way over-the-top; juicy, explosive, great body; sweetness to it; a Hi-C fruit punch spiked w/ the Oak Monster; big & round & luscious, but it's artificial for me; CG-91; GV-85 85 points |

Sonoma Red Zinfandel. #1; COLOR-dark; NOSE-very Cotton Candy, but polished; but not fake; TASTE-massive wine; big tannins; well structured; a Monster, explosive, big wine for a big night (a Smith & Wolensky steak w/ mashed potatoes); tremendous effort; it contains its' fruit within it's structure & tannins; it's got great structure, polish & beautiful fruit; an absolute "darling" of a wine; ST-92/95; GV-92+ 92+ points |
