Tasting - Avery Quinn

Name: Avery Quinn
Variety: 100% Zinfandel
Region: Santa Rosa, California
Country: USA
Year: 2013
Price: $15


Winery Review: Lightly spicy aromas and rich, soothing fruit flavors make this an attractive, lovable and classically proportioned wine. Cherry and raspberry flavors rest on a lightly tannic but smooth texture, and linger on the finish.

My Review:  This Avery Quinn was my kind of wine!  Had a very rich smell and I was immediately able to identify the fruity aroma.  As soon as the wine hit my tongue I was able to identify the "burnt" or "smokey" flavor paired with cherries.  Being a large fan of smoked foods, the smokey kick to the wine was a pleasant surprise!  I was also very excited to have a wine in which I was able to accurately determine some of the main ingredients and associate those flavors with my pallet.  The wine was so good that I ended up purchasing it after the tasting.
