  November 29, 2022 - Retail $20. Zin blend. Gig 5. Big Ass Bottle. I do not know a whole lot about this wine other than it is a non-vintage blend of mostly Zinfandel and it is a solera wine (each vintage, new wine is added to the tank that contains wine from several vintages already, thus the *exact* blend is impossible to determine). I was about to throw this bottle into the "Doubles Pile" which, briefly, is when i receive two bottles of the same wine. But. Given the above (that this is a solar wine), this is actually an iteration *after* my last tasting note. I know, confusing, but trust me, it makes sense. This wine is both a bit fruitier as well as more complex than the previous iteration (Gig 4) and while this leans toward a crowd-pleaser kinda wine, I am certainly in the crowd on this one.

  September 26, 2020 - Retail $20. Zin blend. Gig 4. Big Ass Bottle. I do not know a whole lot about this wine other than it is a non-vintage blend of mostly Zinfandel and it is a solera wine (each vintage, new wine is added to the tank that contains wine from several vintages already, thus the *exact* blend is impossible to determine). Fruity, a bit spicy (black pepper), and a little hot (14.5% ABV) on the nose. The palate is equally fruity and perhaps more inviting--this is an easy, delectable quaff at a (relatively) easy pricepoint. thedrunkencyclist.com
