'97 Reds

[Drew]

Posted this as a steal deal cause I paid $5.99 for it out of the bargain bin. A lesser bottling of Laurel Glen, this delivers some rich, smooth drinking at a great price. The bottle doesn't indicate the blend but seems to me zinfandal plays a significant role in this wine. Dark purple this wine has port like notes mixed with zinberry fruit. Still a tannic mid palate and finishes long 30+ for a wine of this price range. The only drawback was after 1 1/2 hours in the glass the fruit started to fade and the wine became somewhat flabby...one of the quickest degradations of wine I've experienced. 12.5%Alc/vol.
