We actually bought this 2009 Sonoma (USA 🇺🇸) Zinfandel from Murphy-Goode for the 4th of July but we didn’t get around to drinking it on the day. I picked it up from Dan Murphy’s for about $35.

‼️#wineknoeledge: Zinfandel is a red grape variety which is also known as Primitivo in Italy. According to Wikipedia, Zinfandel is grown in 10% of the vineyards in California.

📝 #mytastingnote: This one definitely has a bit of age on it being nearly 10 years old. You can tell that from the taste as the berry flavours are turning more savoury. You can also tell by the brick red colour in the glass. On the nose it’s very farmy and earthy with rich black fruits. While in the mouth it was a medley of black jelly beans, blackberry and black liquorice 🖤

All opinions are based on my own taste buds. Wine is subjective & always evolving, so make sure you drink what you enjoy!

This 2009 Liars Dice Zinfandel from our friends at Murphy-Goode is going to boost the credibility of Zin that has fallen out of favor. I like the fruit and balance with no harsh notes or filler wine from Lodi. Drinking on a stormy night with French onion soup!
