Seen this for years and thought it was Lodi for some reason, but this is legit Sonoma fruit and made in a very traditional way: all brambly and spicy, great extract and personality. Balanced and cohesive all the way thru modest finish. Great QPR as well — 4 months ago

Vine Starr Sonoma County Zinfandel 2016

This is perfect for July 4th. Zin that tastes like zin but without the chocolate and oak. Could smell it for days. Palate is strawberry jam with stone, forest, and bright acidic fruit. If you like the minimalist wine movement, you must try this. Especially the 2016. — 7 years ago

Saldo California Zinfandel 2021

Terrific wine! Lighter in color but not in taste. Started off in full Zin-mode and gradually changed to be a bit dryer. Hints of toffee, caramel and plum with the slight touch of tobacco in later pours. A beautiful wine to drink on a crisp Fall evening — 6 months ago

Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2005

This was a good Zin, rustic red in color, coffee, black cherry, a little jammy up front, some minerals, acidity was good, not as complexed as I would like , but good, finish was lighter than expected. — 7 years ago

Turley

Pesenti Vineyard Paso Robles Zinfandel 2014

The more of these I add, the more this app disappoints. How can it not find this accurately w/o me manually selecting? The wine itself I find ok. I thought these were supposed to be bigger. This one was better than the Hayne which surprised me. Better aromatics and still light given a Zin. — 7 years ago
