Community Tasting Note

caspernick Likes this wine:

Tuesday, September 7, 2021 - Smoked beef brisket is a tough pairing- the flavors are so rich and smoky that the wine needs to have spice, body and high levels of alcohol. A Zinfandel seems as close as possible to the perfect match. This one is semi opaque with thick legs showing off its 14.8% ABV. The nose is very aromatic- rich red fruits, spice, black and white pepper alongside toasty oak. The palate is very full bodied with great balance between the rich fruit, medium tannins and medium acidity. Ripe raspberry, redcurrant jam, white pepper and blackberry flavors are all present. It's not a blockbuster in style but its rich fruit is very enticing. I dig this wine and for $30 it's a good drop that gets 91 points from me and 5 stars. Drink till 2027.
