Community Tasting Note

  September 13, 2009 - I find it hard to know what to do with this wine; a Zin, as it's branded, I'd score this quite a bit lower -- I find it very off-putting with that preconception in mind. HOWEVER :) Knowing the pedigree of the wine, with the sweet port grape blend, and understanding this is designed to be its own beast... Chocolate, raspberries and port come through for me pretty clearly. Nose lets you know it's not dry, but is not headache-inducing. Frankly, I have to wonder how this would fare with a little more port grapes and then some brandy.... oh wait, that's called Port.
