Tasting #4 Purple Paws
Zinfandel 2012Name: Purple Paws Zinfandel 2012
Varietal: Zinfandel
Region: Lodi, California
Year: 2012
Price: $15
Winery review: It smells like ripe boysenberries and cherries, and tastes generous and broad without being too full bodied. It finishes with more fruit notes and those who love a little spice and smooth tannins will be happy.
Personal review: I have never had a Zinfandel before so I had no expectations when tasting this wine. Again for a red it was fairly light bodied and had a smooth finish to it. On the nose I got a chocolate/espresso aroma and on the palate I got a sour cherry note. It had a little more kick to it, with a hint of a pepper spice, but a fruit finish to it. This tasting was not served with food. I would pair this with a steak or a smoky cheese.
