Rather impressed. You can definitely taste the oak influence (without whiskey aromas). Plum, chocolate and smoke also on the nose. Cherry and blackcurrant (slightly jammy) on the palate with a peppery finish. Non-obtrusive tannins, medium acidity and a long length. Would buy again.

One of the most horific wines I have tasted. This is sweet, overly (red) fruity, shows no varietal character or sense of place, and is just allround boring.

A decent Californian Zinfandel but I cannot understand that stellar ratings: it’s rather brash, in your face but no great complexity and I’m not sure the bourbon barrels add much.
