Artezin Zinfandel 2009


Artezin 2009
Zinfandel $14.99
Mendocino, CA
2.5 Stars

High clarity, deep dark red color. Very little contrast.

Smells strongly of alcohol, which is typical for a zin. Cherries and ripe red fruits.

Spicy and tangy fruit flavors, medium bodied with a short forgettable finish. Tannins were very strong throughout, so we decanted the bottle. It did reduce the sharpness of the tannins, but didnt really improve the wine much.
