Old Moon

Old Vine Zinfandel
California
2009

This Zinfandel is named after the January Full Moon.  During that month, the moon casts so many shadows under its brightness, that the vine shadows seem to dance.  This wine can stand with bold flavored meals - like beef and hardy cheeses.

Colin:  The initial taste is on par with most Zinfandels.  However, the finish is weak in comparison.  I think with food, it was much more enjoyable.  If the initial taste wasn't so good, I would rate it lower, but as is, it is aerage.
Rating:  6 out of 10 glasses


Rachel: The initial taste is very strong and hardy, but this wine has a bad finish.  You get this quick, sharp mouthful of flavors, which drops quickly into nothing.  It leaves a bit of a sour taste behind, and because of that, I probably will not buy this wine again.
