Tasting - Rubus Wine Selections Old Vines Zinfandel 2012

Name: Rubus Old Vines Zinfandel
Variety: 98% Zinfandel 2% Cabernet Sauvignon
Country: USA
Region: Lodi, California
Year: 2013
Price: $ 12.95

Winery review: Bold spicy and loaded with ripe black fruits the Rubus Old Vine Zinfandel is a keeper. Intense plum black currant and black raspberry dominate but black pepper cedar and anise notes also abound. - Snooth

My review: After pouring a glass the color was nice plum purple. A heavy spice aroma filled my nostrils. The wine had a decent blackberry taste with an extremely spicy, peppery flavor. This wine isn't very complex and I'm going to avoid buying again for a while. 

The wine was tasted on it's own with no food.
