Ravensworth Zinfandel Vitner's Blend

Smooth, not over oaked, easy to drink with some jammy cherries on front and rasberries on the back end. Medium to full bodied, and nothing weird, this is the cheap zinfandel you want to drink. Theres a bit of a dry/oaky feel to it but very small.

Gnarly Head Zinfandel

Intense and smooth with lots of dark berry flavors on the front, plum on the back, and lots of spice on the back. Has a tightness on the backend. Smooth plum flavors emerge on the second and subsequent tastes more strongly.

Oak notes are definite throughout.

Podere Paganico Rosso di Montalcino

Subtle spices on the nose with plum and detectable spices throughout the mouthfeel. Pretty smooth with out a lot of tannin structure to it. But not overly fruity. Medium bodied.

There are subtle notes of cherry thoughout but plum is predominant.

Good acidity structure throughout. Long lasting finish. Cherry appears more on subsequent tastes. The asian spice really makes this wine special.

Latitud Reserva

Kinda really good. Blackberry on front chocolate appears in after taste. Smooth but dry with a touch of acidity. A refreshing pairing with beef. Some chocolate also detectable on the nose.
