3 Months Aged Bourbon Barrel Zinfandel

Has this at a tasting. A bit odd with bourbon barrel aging. Aromas of sweet fruit oak and smoke. On the palate sweet jammy fruit flavors overpowered by oak and spiciness with notes of vanilla, caramel and a bit if s bourbon taste. Racy tannins on medium finish ending a little hot with an alcohol burn. Ok, but with all going on the fruit takes a backseat.

Good, but Red Blend is better

Big Bourbon Taste as the name suggests with the Bourbon/Alcohol Burn overpowering the wine. After about 45 minutes, the bourbon flavor takes a backseat to strawberry, and Red cherry notes. Paired it with Caramelized Walnuts and Dark Chocolate and it did well, however it wasn’t great as a stand-alone. The overtly strong Bourbon Barreled notes felt like novelty to me. Does pack a 15.6% ABV.

Decent Zin, can taste the deep bourbon barrel taste. Not has fruity as we like, but a nice wine. Would I buy it again? Probably not, but a nice change-up

Delicious.

Really enjoyed

This was interesting and I enjoyed it with dark chocolate and walnuts as another reviewer had done. Strong bourbon at first, and it didn’t marry perfectly with the Zin, but festive and I’ll be buying this again for holiday get togethers, not necessarily wine tastings!

Strong leather flavor, not as jammy as the other big six reds

Little heat little sweet very yum

Delicious with Dark Chocolate
