Same as 7/9/21. It is better than simply fermented grape juice, but hard to tell it is a Zin, lacking the characteristics. Very fruity and austere. Appreciate what Birichino was trying to do here, but they missed the mark.

Gave this lots of air, and perhaps this is a case of it being way too young, but this really didn't do it for us and we are Zin lovers. Seemed wound very tight and didn't open up. Probably varietally correct, but rather austere.

On POP, nose has notes of cloves and pepper on top of dark fruit; taste is dry with good acid; not a sugar bomb by any means; finish is medium lasting; great with stuffed pizza

Dream Big - Discover California Wine Tasting (Stockholm, Gamla Riksarkivet (old government archives building) March 2019): 13.5 % ABV. Zinfandel. Fresh, clean aromatic and pure fruit. I prefer this every day of the week over the Lodi zinfandel wines we tried at the Lodi event at this Discover Cali wines event in Stockholm. recommended

Cherry, herbs and finishing spice. Decent but not anything special. Think of it as a Tuesday night wine.
