  De nuevo buscando variedades características encontré este Zinfandel de Lodi (California). Es un vino bien elaborado, de color granate de buena capa y una nariz que sin ser muy voluminosa si resulta bastante expresiva, dominada por la fruta roja, por momentos fresca y por momentos más madura, con azúcar quemado y alguna sensación especiada. En boca entra bien, pasa bastante fluido, con un tanino bastante bien integrado,estructura media, bastante peso de fruta, bastante largo y con buena definición.

  Well made, balanced, fresh. Too big for my palate, and too ripe. Almost sweet. Good acidity and fine texture. Good.

  2/5 helt ok men inte mer. Rund och len, lättdrucken.
  Men inte alls karaktär som Petite Sirah

  The McManis offers fair value, but has some minor imperfections even at this price. First, it's definitely got a bit of tingling acidity right in the mid-palate. Great for a Pinot Grigio, but distracting for a Zinfandel. Second, it's a little dilute compared to many of the other offerings this month. The finish was also quite short.
  
  On the positive side, the flavors were nicely composed with both red fruits and dark fruits represented and some earthy flavors tying it all together. I'm also happy to report that this was not an overly sweet syrup bomb; instead displaying a drier version of Zinfandel.
  
  I'm borderline on this one, but with the negatives I outlined above, I'm going to have to go with "Ok", rather than "Good". Nonetheless, I wouldn't be disappointed if I picked up a bottle of this for $10. www.vincrush.com

  Syrupy, charred cocoa, jammy berry and vanilla nose and flavours with enough acidity to make my left eye twitch.
  Not right.
  1/5
