Petit Reserve Paso Robles Zinfandel

Very flavorful for a cheap wine. Strong blackberry flavors.

Inky deep purple in color. Strawberry fruit leather on nose. Raspberry jam in mouth with lingering menthol and blackberry. Not too alcoholic, not too tannic, not too acidic - fruit forward, but could use a bit less oak on the finish .

Nice light red color, more vanilla notes than I expect in a zin, nice spiced fruit flavor, a bit hot on the finish but it is 16%...

As you can see from pic, this is Trader Joe’s “Grower’s Reserve” Zinfandel Paso Robles (one of my fav next to Lodi’s).
Has great length and leg; smooth light oaky, and smoky with hint of dark cherry taste. Love this inexpensive yet quality wine.

Decent table wine - light bodied

Not good enough for drinking. Okay for braising.

A smooth Zinfandel but no spice that I detect. It’s ok but still a pleasant red just not my favorite.🌝

Good wine. Has a kick like most zins, fruity and enjoyable. Will get again.

I really like this sweeter wine from Stephanie and Josh's wedding. I got more black fruit flavors with vanilla than typical for a zinfandel.

Not the best Zin.
