What Zinfandel should be. Light, fun and fruity with an acidic backbone. No oak in the way. Delicious.

Medium ruby color. Red cherry, red plum, very ripe cranberry and raspberry. Pepper. Some wild herbs. Tarter on the palate. Elevated acidity, medium minus soft tannins. Thinking maybe a southern Rhone but not structured enough. Called it Barbera d’Asti…..

Tons of acidity. Crunchy apple, raspberry, plums, a bit of forest, but it is tart. I wonder if it’s just an odd time for it. Still way better than 90% of all zin made.

Got this at Look’s Market in early fall 2021. Was a ready good Zin. Price was in the mid $40’s. Would buy again.

ジンファンデルとは思えないほど、綺麗な酸とミネラル。しっかり果実味もあるのに、ジャミーまではいかず、寸止めみたいなところで止めて、透明感を保持している。
驚きのあるワイン。

Cool because it is a very light, fruit forward CA Zinfandel with only 12% alcohol. I will save the other bottles I ordered to serve chilled with BBQ during June, but this was not a good choice with homemade chicken pot pies on a cold October night.

Really digging this Zin. Great job Broc. Red fruit, nice grape skin, and black pepper, nice acidity level, good sipper and would be great with Thanksgiving dinner, also great with Salmon
