Sweet raspberry nose with liquorice and slight herbaceousness. Fullbodied and balanced fruity palate. Smooth but dry style with good intensity of clean red and dark fruit. Salt liquorice, herbs and leather. Decent length. Quite ok.

Oak, vanilla, spicy pepper, warm cherries and some raspberries on the nose. Medium body, lacks concentration and balance. Finish is quite weak and boring

Cherry and blackberry on the nose with a really smooth and cool palate of cherry and that plummy, slightly medicinal flavour that Zinfandels seem to have.

Jammy nose with pretty florals and hints of white pepper on the nose. On the palate, baking spice, pepper and berry jam. Some bramble tones. Nice and light style. - Schreiner's Winers Zin tasting 9/18/10

Nice Zin and good value. Raspberries and cherries. Not overcooked or jammy. Fleshy feel to the palate. Soft. Summer BBQ wine.

Deep garnet color, lean to brick. Aroma of black fruit,plums. Earthy, spicy. Longish finish with significant tannin. A decent "Wednesday night" Zin, and okay for the price.

Deep purple in colour, this wine shows ripe raspberry, clove and white pepper on the nose. The palate initially shows liqueur cherries in dark chocolate but then transitions to more savoury wood and toasty oak characters.

Good Zinfandel, no complaints at all. Just a little too anonymous in the taste.

Simple solid zin. Good fruit, with a little spice on the finish. Solid but unimpressive, if that makes sens.
