2004 Joel Gott Zinfandel

[TheEngineer]

Don't usually get around these here parts but....still trying to learn...

Dark garnet-purple. Nose is dominated initially by lost of oak but with just a bit of air, the fruit comes out. Dark fruit with a sweet taste and a soft supple mouthfeel. Tannins in check but man this thing is a bit hot. The hotness is persistent. 14.6% ABV.......

Nice enough especially for the price. Got mine for about $12. Not for the current weather,...maybe leaving it for next summer's barbacue season.
