Edmeades Zinfandel 2015 Review

This wine will not give you a sense of what Zinfandel is like. There is way too much oak, and the alcohol is way too high. What you will get instead is juicy blueberry and cherry cola aromas and tart vanilla from oak. Hovering over all of this is a layer of heat that you feel in your nose hairs. If this is your style, then fire up the grill and get that BBQ started. But damn, stay hydrated.
