Not my style of Zinfandel. Anymore, at least. 15 years ago, I think I liked this style a bit more. A massively ripe fruit bomb, with low acids and a fair amount of heat in the finish.Dark blackish ruby. Rich nose of smoky ripe blackberry syrup and a bit of fruitcake. Weighty but a bit dead-textured in the mouth. Lots of low-toned blackberry ooze fruit. No acid to speak of and very heavy body. Fairly simple. Here's my simile: Like drinking the liquid version of an old 20-lb. barbell you found at an estate sale of some guy who recently died at age 93. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Actually, there is. C-. Was $15.99 from WTSO.com.
