Tasting - Fetzer Zinfandel


Name: Fetzer (1.5Liter)
Variety: 100% Zinfandel
Region: Valley Oaks, California
Country: USA
Year:  2010
Price:  $25 Regular on sale for $7.95

Winery Review: This is a wine with soft, supple tannins, easily identified as a Zinfandel, yet more elegant and easy drinking than many of the over-the-top powerhouse styles. Deep garnet colors lead to a ripe, medium-bodied wine with aromas of bright cherry, raspberry, clove spice, roasted nuts and a mild black pepper spice. In the mouth the wine is medium rich with flavors of red raspberry, strawberry and cranberry with a warm, woodsy spice. A special character from aging in Frech Oak lifts and provides depth and richness to complement the red toastiness and bright red fruits, a well integrated wine.  


Tasting Review: A good Zin, I've had better. Sweet clove and cherry on the nose with a spicy and medium body. Very mild tannins on the back end with a short finish.
