Small Batch Bourbon Barrel Aged California Zinfandel
Kind of sticky... and icky. If you have too much it might permanently damage your taste buds. Lots and lots and lots of vanilla, over ripened black fruit, and very sweet. Cloying, almost. It’s thick and high alcohol.

Jul 28th, 2019Nice balance between fruitiness and tannin. Was nice to drink by itself and did not need other taste to balance it.

Jan 25th, 2021Not really a "purist" wine but who cares?... Those guys are a bunch of Jackwagons. It's best to not think of this as a wine and more as a delightful hybrid alcoholic beverage. It is really obvious that the bourbon barrels are heavily influencing the flavor here and that is right up my alley. I wouldn't want every wine to be like that but what this one does, it does well. It's really in a completely different category than a straight-up Zin and should be judged accordingly.

Jan 17th, 2021Выпито с друзьями Даши и Паши 17.01.21 в Пильнице. Прекрасный и нежный зинфандель. Выдержка в использованных бочках из- под Бурбона произвело на свет очень нежное и мягкое Вино. Категорически несогласен с проэкспертами из- за их низких оценок. Достойное Вино.

Jan 17th, 2021Well made, personally not a fan of the bourbon after taste but this would be a joy for those that do.

Nov 15th, 2020Delicious Zinfandel. Aromas of strawberry jam, cinnamon and tobacco. It is indeed oaky, but I expected it to be even more oaky as it is aged in bourbon barrels. Nice tannins.

Sep 30th, 2020An interesting Zin. Aromas of vanilla, dark fruit, pepper, and a hint from those bourbon barrels. Smooth with a spice note. Ruby colored. This is not a bad wine for the price, but I like Big Six Bourborn Zinfandel better.
