Winery Review


Dark, ruby-red color with violet highlights. Intense and fragrant bouquet with a rich array of red and black fruit aromas and flavors. Harmonious and velvety on the palate. Great balance and structure. 100% Zinfandel

My Review
This wine really offered nothing unique in the way of scent. It was honestly quite boring and bland with no real smells standing out. Perhaps a hint of caramel or some fruity smells. It honestly just smelled like grapes and alcohol. The taste was just as disappointing, it was bitter, and unpleasantly dry. It left me looking for something more fulfilling.

I did not eat food with this wine.
