August 13, 2021 - Yes
October 12, 2020 - Not outstanding, but definitely acceptable for the price and pairing with pizza. Dark fruits, a little spice, medium body, but not interesting on the nose.
July 31, 2020 - Rebecca still really likes this.
July 1, 2020 - A nice balance, but not real spicy like many Zinfandels.
June 4, 2020 - Nose has a lot of fruit: dark plum, almost prune. Palate confirms, with balanced acid/tannin. Not very much spice, especially compared to the Toro I had most recently.
I've had this several times now, but only took notes once for the 2015. This bottle doesn't have the leather or anise that I tasted in that one. On the other hand, this one doesn't have the sour moments of the 2015.
Day 2 is fine, but no new development.
June 1, 2020 - Good smile for price!
May 30, 2020 - Almost opaque deep purple color, dark fruit on nose, medium body, somewhat flat tasting, some fruit on finish. I don't like this wine because of the flat taste.
May 26, 2020 - Great value Zin, with tons of character. Initially served a little too warm, and the alcohol was evident. After a brief chill, it came into much better focus as a wine with decent tannins, robust acidity, and generous spicy, brambly fruit. Disappeared quickly, and definitely exceeded expectations.
May 24, 2020 - Not bad
May 23, 2020 - Rebecca likes it a lot.
