Community Tasting Note

• Ecbatana Does not like this wine: 69 points

  September 20, 2017 - This wine is apocalyptic. Imagine the product of the husband and wife team of Willy Wonka and Bjork, this is it. Utter swill with zero redeeming qualities. Thoroughly enjoy Caymus Zinfandel, but this is a toxic collision of fermented grape Hi-C, corn syrup, charcoal briquettes and aviation kerosene, just a syrupy mess and an affront to all senses. Is this what Caymus means by their 'signature style'? Good grief. Purposely keeping a bottle hidden for the future just for amusement and to see if it miraculously becomes drinkable by humans. Clearly generating polarizing reviews here on CT. 69 pts is flattering.

  10/20/17, 9:28 AM - This is by far the BEST review of this wine. Hysterical. There was another one where the OP put vanilla, vanilla, vanilla and then somebody posted.....You forgot the Blueberry milkshake. LOL

  Cheers!
