Inexpensive, decent and accessible red wines are so hard to find. I like my reds complex and rich and heavy....now, that's just me. You may not like your reds that way. But, if you do, we have a new one for you to try out.......
2012 Ghost Pines Zinfandel........
As you will see in the picture above, we have two different glasses out while tasting the Ghost Pines. My hubbie and I do this with almost every red to get a sense of how the bouquet and taste may differ depending on the size of the glass.....I recommend you do this as well - it is, many times, surprisingly different.
Wine Momma Wine Review
Wine: Ghost Pines 2012 Zinfandel
Color: Ruby Red
Smell: Spice, plum, chocolate
Taste: Dark cherry, spice, tannin, complex, nice soft finish
Scale: A solid 3 - but make sure you drink it in one sitting (see below)
Cost: $18 - not bad for a decent red!
Only down side: After a night sitting in the bottle after being correctly stored, the wine did not survive as well as I would have liked. So, if you buy this wine, have some friends over to enjoy it then and there.
Cheers!
