April 13, 2024 - Didn’t realize it was a Zin/Red blend. Makes much more sense now with its flavor profile. Tasty and big enough to pair with meats and cheeses or drink on its own.
March 30, 2024 - Deep purple. Intense black and blue fruit aromas, vanilla and oak spices. heavy body, no additional complexity , very hot. The alcohol is completely unbalanced. There are basic 17% abv Amarone's with more finesse. Medium finish. This drinks like a wine based cocktail. Terrible QPR, there are far better zins for half the price.
February 21, 2024 - Tastes manufactured, like a $12 grocery store Zin from a mediocre corporate producer. Is that oak chips I taste on the back end? Catastrophic QPR. 86 points is a gift rating for this pathetic wine.
January 21, 2024 - Still a very young wine, I’m certain over the next 2-4 years it will only improve…much to look forward to!!!
Cheers!!!
January 15, 2024 - Good fruit without being sweet or syrupy. It has nice acidity, so it works well with food, delicious for sipping solo.
January 7, 2024 - Smooth
December 21, 2023 - Full-bodied, fruit forward and tasty. Served at multiple dinner partys and everyone loved it.
December 8, 2023 - Medium minus body, acidity is medium plus, dry is medium plus, tannins are at medium plus on harsher side, really long lasting. This is California blend meaning who knows where they source it from. Overall acidity, light body and harsh tannins is not a perfect combination so I would not pay this much for it again at 50$ I’d rather get Orin Swift abstract or Machete, but that’s just me.
November 24, 2023 - An excellent Zinfandel that paired well with a smoked Thanksgiving turkey by St Louis BBQ royalty. The wine was also quite enjoyable on its own. Initially, it had a lot of tart cherries but with some air and time, it got sweeter where stewed plums emerged, while the freshness and vibrancy remained. It's a very easy-drinking wine. Definitely recommend.
