Tasting Notes for Armida Zinfandel "Poizin" 2006

Wine Tasted:

Armida Zinfandel "Poizin" 2006

I bought this wine because of it's clever marketing. The bottle has a skull and cross bones on the label and is draped in plastic red "blood". Moreover the bottle comes in a wooden coffin. I thought my friend's 5 year old boy would love the pirate connection so I got it. The wine itself is almost port-like in its heat. I drink wine 4-5 nights a week and rarely encounter a Zin that packs so much alcoholic punch. Not my cup of tea but fun to try.

I would serve this wine for:

Halloween. Their wines are perfect for Halloween.

I shared this wine with:

Lori and Karen

The nose on this wine reminds me of:

Port in its alcohol smell.

This wine would pair well with the following foods:

Perhaps really spicy Indian or Thai. Otherwise it will overpower everything.

I think this wine is priced:

Fairly if you like the packaging. Too high for just the wine

If I have any gripe with this wine, it's that:

Alcohol content is too high.
