Red #California #wine from USA: 2005 : http://tinyurl.com/3qjhotd

Wine name: Zinfandel. Producer: Walker's Pass. Vintage: 2005. Purchased from thresher's. Appearance deep purple, very thick & viscous on the glass with oodles of sweet blackberries aromatics. The attack is oodles of sweet blackberries. Evolution: Oodles of sweet blackberries. And some black cherries – like the little bits you used to get in yoghurts in the 80s with a finish which is sweet blackberries on the swallow and in the nose. Sweetness: 2.5. Acidity: 2.5. Tannin: 2 with a texture which is syrupy and the length is a little patchy. As for balance, it's a bit sweet, but very juicy and quite pleasant. The wine has a synthetic closure and is 14.5% abv. Overall, this wine is: A little one-dimensional but very chewy. My score (which is NOT the same as Robert Parker's!) is 81 points.
