Winery Review: "Bota Box Old Vine Zinfandel is rich in color with aromas of blackberry bramble, red currant and a touch of spice. Concentrated and fruit forward, Bota Zin showcases black cherry fruit and toasted oak on the palate, with hints of black pepper that carry through to a long, lingering finish. Nicely balanced acidity and supple tannins make this medium-bodied wine an ideal partner for roasted pork tenderloin studded with garlic and rosemary, grilled burgers topped with blue cheese, or even chocolate brownies."
My Review: This wine had a very high acidic finish, which left a bitter taste on the palate. There were slight cherry notes that were accented by a lingering wood taste. Overall, the wine needed to have a slightly more sweet or less acidic taste, but it would have been better accented with the food.
