This wine is Rick James bitch... super freak.

Unfortunately, it’s not super good.

Sweet... yet tart. At least the bottle looked cool.

It tastes like the label. So clowns, and bearded ladies, and invisible men, bears, trapeze artists, fire breathers and sword swallowers. Not my jam. Tastes like jam too.

I don’t usually drink Zinfandel but I do like Michael David wine. Lots of oakiness and tannins, has a nice long finish. (Time to trim some palm fronds tomorrow 🥴)

My least favorite so far of the Michael David wines. Alcohol and currant on the nose. Thin, almost flat, notes of red currant, cherry pie, raspberry jam, & plum. Sort of fruit juice-y. Really does fall flat, which is disappointing, but it’ll do for a wine of this price point.

There isn’t a varietal Michael David doesn’t dominate. While this Zin isn’t the spiciest I’ve had it sure packs a hell of a burst of flavour on the palate. I drank it as fast as a beer it was so good. Next bottle I’ll slow down. Promise.

Exploring Zinfandel... I did enjoy 2019. Not the best one I tried, but I liked the distinct notes of Michael's collection.

Solid jammy Zin with a nice finish. Easy to drink, but not as full or complex as other zins

A bit sweet and jammy. Not much else.
