clear ruby and long leg, some red berries and vanilla in nose. it performs good until I take it into mouth, alcohol dominating, maybe there are a few interesting flavours, but just flushed away by strong and hot alcohol before I can reach them. coarse, rough, only satisfy alcohol lovers who need a little additional fruity treats.
this is my first time trying California Zinfendal just for curiousness, can't believe it expresses so-called "Paso Robles terroir" (the winemaker declares proudly on the label), even I don't believe it's a real Zinfendal style, will try some others to find out. I understand it's a just under US$10 table wine, you can't expect too much.
this wine tastes like a flabby man from California.
