Tasting Notes:
This is another wine that excels when given a little air. A few hours will do it. The taste is of a deep rich toasted oak and cherry flavor. Really delicious. I'm going to buy a few more bottles and put them away for a few years.

Who says there are no value wines from California? This one was the winner of a blind value wine tasting we held. It retails for around $20 which is a very good value. The label says Proprietary Red, but most likely a Zinfandel blend. Ruby/purple with some blue tones in color. The nose has black cherries, black raspberries, some black olives (Syrah?) and a bit of spice. On the palate, this is medium ripe with a nice texture. Light tannins. Drinking great right now. very tasty. It will match with grilled foods and spicy Indian food.

This is a reasonably priced Napa Zin that is fairly available. Not a big wine at all. Purple in color, ruby at the rim. Mostly opaque and bright. The nose has some bramble and some cherries. On the palate, this is medium bodied with cherries and bitter cherries. No tannins to speak of. Easy drinking. A nice wine with a burger or pizza. Probably best drunk in the next few years.
Putting Wine Tasting Notes to the Test
Tasting notes are a great way to get a sense of a wine’s personality before investing in a bottle you’ve never before tried. But how meaningful are they to the Average Joe? On a recent trip to Napa, we decided to put tasting notes to the test by comparing them with our own impressions.

My first time trying this. I suspect that many who do give it the benefit of the doubt due to the name. Tasted blind, I was unimpressed. It's fine enough but mothing more. Pink/copper in color, clear and bright. The nose has strawberries with a slight decomposing fruit note. On the palate, this is think, light bodied with a slight strawberry notes. Dry. Slight tartness on the finish. 12% abv. This probably should be consumed over the next year. It will work better with food and would work with almost any food although the tartness might be an issue for a steak.
