I tend to love most of the wines from Big House, and am upset because when I had to change webhosts I lost a bunch of reviews, including the ones that I did of all of their wines. I chose to grab a bottle of this zinfandel of theirs and unfortunately for them, I have grown accustomed to robust wines made from this grape.
This wine is very fruit forward, from which you get blackberries and/or cherries. The aroma instantly brings to mind old leather and the mouth is very light. Now, that is my one problem with this wine; I am used to something that is more complex and packs a punch in regards to both weight and feel/texture. However, this might be an asset in that you never notice what's happening until after several glasses. And with the second glass, you will start to think of this wine as juicy.
This wine would have ordinarily gotten a seven, but this time, I am boosting it to a nine. For the price, it does yield some nice payback. I am sorry for doubting you Big House!
