Round five of blind tasting and we all missed on this. I think a Zinfandel blend is cruel. I swore this was a Sonoma Cab… all those blended varieties proved tricky and the Zinfandel doesn’t stand out on its own. Dark ruby red with dark over ripened and jammy fruits. Smells hot. Also VANILLA. Say that five times. Has some nice bell pepper and green notes, some eucalyptus, balsamic, and a touch of mint. Low tannic levels, moderate acid and body. It’s delicious but tripped us up.

$35 Big nose. Notes of blackberry, strawberry, Gummi candy, vanilla and boysenberry on the nose. Medium body. Medium acid. Medium alcohol. High tannins. Nice and chewy. Dry. This wine has a tang that diminishes with time. There are notes of blackberry, boysenberry, and strawberry on the tongue. This is a decent blend with a lot of black fruit coming through. Notes of vanilla and baking spice come through after decanting. This is a decent wine with moderate layers of complexity. Not my favorite but a quality wine nonetheless.
