Tasting-Sobon Estate Zinfadel



Name: Sobon Estate Old Vine Zinfadel

Variety:  Zinfadel

Region: San Joaquin

Country: USA (CA)

Year: 2010

Price:  $13.99

Winemaker's Notes (from Total Wine and More Website): Brambly flavors of blackberry and blueberry with hints of vanilla and cedar that end in a very long finish.

My tasting notes:  A top finisher in the semester's list of tastings for both my wife and me. Very good aroma of dark berries on the nose that carries very well into the initial palate.  Notes of cedar present on the mid palate and finish.  Quite smooth throughout and not as hot at 14.9 ABV as some of the other Zins that we have tried. Very nice finish.  Very good effort, we have marked this one to buy and enjoy.
