Community Tasting Notes 8

  November 4, 2019 - Rather old world in style. Some earth and barnyard. Likely would not peg this one as a Zin if tasting blind. That makes two “upsets” or surprises in two nights on that front. ~ Tasty stuff.

  November 3, 2018 - This is certainly more on the lighter side of the fence, red fruit, tart cherry, nice spice and some typical dry creek dried flowers. I appreciated the style differentiation from some of the 15.5%+ syrupy fruit bombs sometimes found in the area.

  October 12, 2018 - Nose is a bit confusing at first; a chemical tone but gives way to some barnyard covering classic zin dark fruit. Flavor is more normal for a zin but finishes a bit "tinny"
