Alexander Valley Vineyards Zinfandel Salvation

soft and jammy, good wine on a limited list at Jack Allen's Kitchen

Jammy with a little tart2

2016 ZAP Trade Tasting, nose of red cherry, sweet fruit, with spice and plum, more of the same on the palate, a step up from the Temptation but almost double the price, medium body, and long, long finish.

Decent wine for the price. Slightly high on alcohol which is typical for AVV. Buy more to load in the fast moving cubes

Light color. Plum and chocolate with blueberries. A bit spicy with medium finish

Fleshy, attractive, cinnamon-like spiced in the nose with plums and red berries on the ripe side, a little cellar aroma and alcohol. In the mouth really focused on a balance between being easy drinking and having some depth of flavors at the same time. Very well hidden alcohol under the explosive, ripe, juicy black berries and sweet cherries, just a slight leafiness in the texture and enough acidity for balance. A popular style and classic Zin at the same time.

Nice zin great with BBQ.

wow. suprisingly nuanced aromas. wild brambly spice expression. cedar with a little charming dill nuance on the palate. lots of fruit, but not too big or too sweet. nice complexity to the palate.
