Tasting -- Hullabaloo Zinfandel

Name: Hullabaloo Zinfandel
Variety: 100% Zinfandel
Region: Napa Valley
Country: California, USA
Year: 2012
Price: $15.95

Winery review: "Since people always ask us about our interesting labels here is a little bit about Hullabaloo: We chose the classic 19th century strongman icon as we thought it was fitting of the period between 1850 and 1900 (around the same time Zinfandel was planted and began to flourish in California). The strongman was not only an exhibitor of feats of stregth but his main purpose was also to shocase his greatsize, boldness and symetry -- kind of describes old vine Zinfandel doesn't it?"

My review: A super delicious red zin. A deep red color. This wine has a bouquet of soapy darkfruit. This light bodied red tastes of darkfruit, bitters, and has a farmy element to it. The finish is fantastic and defined. Overall, this is a delicious red zinfandel.
