Tasting- Tamas Estate Zinfandel


Name:  Tamas Estate Zinfandel
Variety:  Zinfandel
Region:  Livermore, California
Country:  United States
Year:  2007
Price:  $15 (sale: $7.95)
Shop Review:  "A little sharp in acidity, and the wine pepper spice adds to the impression of zippiness in this bone-dry Zin. It's deep and likeable in raspberry, cherry, and sandalwood flavors." Steve Heimoff
My Review:  This wine was a lighter looking red with an unappealing wet wood and heavy petrol smell.  The tannins looked thick and I could feel the heat of the wine in my nose even when I smelled it.  This wine had a very tart aftertaste, which I normally would not mind except for the fact that it was very bitter as well.  I could definitely feel this wine go all the way down my throat. 

I tried this wine without food.
