Graziano Zinfandel 2007 (about $16)






About the Wine:  Shelf life for wines under twenty dollars s very hard to predict.  Most wines, especially red wines, should be good for at least five years but it does not always work out that way.  For that reason it is always something of a gamble to buy older wines on a hipster budget.

About THIS Wine:  The wine is garnet color in the glass with a ruby room.  The nose pops with sweet cherry, raspberry, and other jammy red fruit.  The fruits deliver on the palate and fade into a tannic finish.

Drinking This Wine:  It is alright for sipping and would also go well with burgers and game meats.

Overall Impression:  This wine is pretty good, but not spectacular and I doubt if it will keep much longer.  It is should be about thirteen or fourteen dollars and is thus a bit overpriced.
