Tasting - Purple Paws Zinfandel

Name: Purple Paws Zinfandel 2012
Variety: Zinfandel
Region: Lodi, California
Country: USA
Year: 2012
Price: $15.00

Shop Review: It smells like rope boysenberries and cherries, and tastes generous and broad without being too full bodied. It finished with more fruit notes and those who love a little spice and smooth tannins will be happy.

My Review: The color of this wine was a beautiful, bright red. An aroma of dried fruit was present; prunes and dried berries are what came to mind in particular. I felt that this wine had a more fuller body than the others presented at the tasting. There was a taste of cherries and a slight bitterness left on the palate, but it was not overpowering. This was tasted by itself, with no food.
