Tasting - Fetzer Valley Oaks

Name: Fetzer Valley Oaks
Variety: Red Zinfandel
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2010
Price: Regular: $25.00, Sale: $7.95
Winery Review: "This elegant and easy to drink Zinfandel is well balanced with a moderate toastiness, bright red fruit and soft supple tannins. It is deep garnet in color with aromas of bright cherry, raspberry, clove, roasted nuts and black pepper. In the mouth is a ripe, medium-bodied wine with dark berry flavors of red raspberry, strawberry, cranberry and a warm, woodsy spice."
Personal Review: This wine smelled of plums, dark cherries, and blackberries. The wine was very dry and did not have much fruit flavors other than plums. I expected the wine to be full-bodied, but it was actually pretty thin. It has a long finish. I personally did not care for this wine and I did not have it with any food.
