'97 Four Vines "Old vine Cuvee" Zinfandel

[Drew]

The worst wine I've ever had. Spied this in an out of the way wine store and was duped into a purchase as A. it was a '97 and B. it was $8. On opening, the nose of sour rotten fruit lept from the bottle and punched me in the nose. One taste and the flavor matched the nose. Seeing my face, and in disbelief that a wine could taste so bad, my wife took a sip and there we were...looking like that commercial for "Bitter Beer Face". The bottle was dumped down the drain. The label indicates a small amount of Petit Sirah was blended in this 15 to 52 year old vines Cuvee. 13.5%Alc/vol. Serve it to your enemies, or wine snob associates....better yet, enter a girning contest and take a swig right before your turn!
