| Community Tasting Notes (average 86.5 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 28 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by mpchs1988 on 8/20/2017 & rated 86 points: Had a nose of warm electric train engine from when I was a kid. Some oak and hint of green plums. Sour strawberry on front palate but even for age still a little acidic. (1646 views) | | | Tasted by juffer on 8/26/2014 & rated 88 points: Has improved substantially with age. Not quite as good as the 2008, but starting to resemble it much more. Raspberry and cinnamon nose. Medium weight. Spice continues on the finish. Excess heat on the finish can be distracting if consumed at room temperature, but chilling to 60F takes care of this without harming the rest of the experience. Good QPR. (3297 views) | | | Tasted by mpchs1988 on 9/26/2013 & rated 84 points: Somewhat of a disappointment. Served at 65 deg with taco's. Nose of berrys and burnt electric motor. Had odd finish that I cant quite describe. Will serve next bottle at lower temp. (4595 views) | | | Tasted by simonsmd on 9/18/2013 & rated 85 points: Fruity nose with a bit of a medicinal edge. Luxurious mouth feel, red berries, a little too acid. Finish lingers. Not bad PQR. (4340 views) | | | Tasted by woody0198 on 3/26/2013 & rated 83 points: A bit harsh, almost Garnacha-like. Very dry, but green and abrasive. (5322 views) | | | Tasted by wbduval on 2/18/2013 & rated 84 points: Too early to tell, but not too impressed so far (4728 views) | | | Tasted by corkscrews on 12/2/2012 & rated 85 points: Same as last tried. (3631 views) | | | Tasted by fgar59 on 11/7/2012 & rated 85 points: A little fruit forward. Nice dark color and good mouth feel (2710 views) | | | Tasted by corkscrews on 10/26/2012 & rated 86 points: Similiar notes. (2593 views) | | | Tasted by corkscrews on 8/14/2012 & rated 87 points: A nose of cherry and spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied Zinfandel with black cherry, raspberry, spicy finish, a good value, not a great as 2008 but close.

| Zinfandel ZAP: Zinfandel Advocates & Producers | Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wikipedia-ZinfandelOld Vines Old Vine/Vieilles Vignes (Wikipedia)USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyDry Creek Valley Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley | Dry Creek Valley Association | Appellation America | San Francisco Chronicle Article |
