Brown Jug Zin Tasting: It's strange how I keep ending up tasting this without neccesarily wanting to. We've done 2 zin tastings in the last year and a half, and poured this at both of them. This is the best showing I've seen with this wine. Lots of mint notes jump out of the glass on this wine. It's still huge, decadant and perhaps too much for some, but the structure is there to make it work, and allows this wine to be a hedonistic delight. If I had some of these, I'd start drinking 'em right about now.

(JC CELLARS ARROWHEAD 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
