Candied Red Fruit, very slight tar, and a touch of wood. A little tight up front with not enough out back. #zin can be better. — 10 years ago

Nice #zin from #PasoRobles. The flavors were well incorporated by now and not jammy, rather cherry and pepper notes were highlighted. — 10 years ago

Real wine. Violets, koi pond, plum bread, dried raspberries in a Sumatran coffee and gunpowder tea bran muffin. Shoe leather in clear polish. Wound up a little tightly as it was just opened, the palate receives a heaping spoonful of coal and banana leaf, with iron pellets. You can see the shadow of the panther in this one! Pure muscle. Cracked pepper, smooth, flat black stones; dried violets, tar, squid ink and flame-touched hemp. Not your typical Zin fare, this one elevates the cultivation to an art form. 80 year old vines strumming archaic, wooden energies into the glass. Remember this is Zin, which is the neon calling card of the wine arcade, then find yourself called to a state of bliss. #zinfomaniacs #zintastic #zincredible #zin #bedrock #bedrockwineco #oldvinesyounglove #oldvine #oldvines #oldvinezin #zinfandel #zinfadel #caliclassic — 9 years ago

The absolutely worst #zinfandel I've ever had and hope I ever will have. If I had the time I would write a thesis on the evils of #wholecluster ferments. I've never tried a #Crljenak Kaštelanski from #croatia but blind tasting this wine I localized it in #georgia or #romania or somewhere like that and felt like it was a weak or feeble #pinot Med- color, #spicy nose with white pepper (cluster) and #geranium (defect) on the palate it was not just acidic, but off balance and sour! A #zin sour? Yes :( green notes through and through. Med- finish. You can drink it and as a wine I could have scored it higher, but when I uncovered the bottle and found it was supposed to be a #zinfandel I am giving it this score. I'm all for imitating #burgundy, but with Pinot and when it's done right. I think a #beaujolais is better than this. #california have we gone perhaps too far in the wrong direction? — 11 years ago

Pours merlot in color. ON THE NOSE: blackberry, spice and a hint of eucalyptus. ON THE PALATE: dark berry with some spice on the end. A very soft #Zin Medium body medium finish. — 11 years ago

Bargain for $20! A rocking old vine with maybe a touch more extraction then is my preference, but still a decently spicy nice drinker. #zin #ftw — 9 years ago

nostalgic #zin harking to the time when huge fruit & port-like alcohol levels were the thing. Hot as balls in lycra at opening but did smooth out after time in #decanter. happy to have shared it with others & not have had to #drink it solo as would equaled hospital trip! — 11 years ago
