Grape

Zinfandel, Carignan, Petite Sirah

Origin
From the self proclaimed 'King of Zin' comes this perfectly crafted, gutsy blend, made from 84% Zinfandel. Aged for 12 months in 100% French oak, this is a superb quality wine at an almost unheard-of low price.
Taste
With powerful aromas of raspberry, black cherry and spicy hints of oak, the palate is well balanced with supple tannins and a long fruit forward finish.
Enjoy
Drinks well on its own, but benefits from pairing with simple but robust red meat dishes.

    Excellent value

    I agree with the previous reviewer about not normally buying Zinfandel but at this price it's very good value, and this isn't as over-the-top as some of the Port-like Zinfandels that the Californians seem to love.

    Mr

    My first time actually taking any notice of the Zinfandel. A nice rounded mouthful with good red berry fruits. I partook of half a bottle as I had to drive later and, on coming back to the other half the next day it had definitely improved with a days worth of breathing. At this price it has to be the best value ever.

    OK for the price

    I must admit that Zinfandel isn't my favourite grape. I found this example a bit hard and unyielding; you have to have it with robust food. However, at this price it's an absolute bargain.

Press Reviews

  • "Snap up this brilliant, fat, briary, berry fruit and damson-laden half-price bargain before everyone else does."

  • "This combines powerful black cherry fruit with nicely integrated touches of pepper and spice. The deft use of oak also rounds off the whole thing with a smooth and polished finish."
