Blog Entry: Review, Fog Vineyards Zinfandel ‘06
Tonight we decided to have Fog Vineyards Zinfandel ‘06 with our
meal. We opened this bottle of Zinfandel to let it breathe. Once poured in the
glass the color was a beautiful dark ruby red color. The aromas were of dark
berry fruit. On the palate this wine was to me different than the aroma,
although I could taste the dark berry fruit and hints of pepper, the wine on
the palate was tart. That aftertaste was there as if eating a granny smith sour
apple or a lemon slice. Now, Ron loves lemons so maybe he can agree that for
him it was that pleasant tart aftertaste. For me not so, I felt that it had the
basics for a Zin but the tartness was not to my liking. It was a medium bodied
wine on the drier side with 14.5 % alcohol content and a long finish.
Zinfandel is considered a California grape, it did originate in Italy but is now primarily in California . Zinfandel can go from a light
bodied to heavy red. It generally has bold flavors and pairs well with spicy
& BBQ Foods.
We are uncertain of the cost as this was
given to us to sample however, it can be purchased from WineShop At Home
Artisian Wines, Napa California through member LetitWine.
