About the Wine: The Jack London Zinfandel was the wine that made me fall in love with Zinfandel. As a long time Merlot drinker I am very enthusiastic about their Merlot.
About THIS Wine: The wine is very dark in the glass, almost opaque, with a garnet rim. The nose is heavy with blackberry and oak. Oak and tannin define the palate. There is no distinct finish, just more oak and tannin.
Drinking This Wine: Drinking anything this tannic without food is a guaranteed case of heartburn. Have it with a big meal of red meat.
Overall Impression: Too much tannin and too little of everything else. This wine may improve with aging, but I am not optimistic. For now it is badly overpriced.
