Today is one of those days I just don’t feel like working. Concentrating on the task at had is nearly impossible. I am so bored I am eating cheese for no reason (like I need a reason to eat cheese). The sky is overcast and dreary – that sure doesn’t help. So how about a wine review? I had a Zinfandel the other night that I didn’t particularly like, here it is:

Name: Estancia Zinfandel 2005

Type: Zinfandel

Country: USA (California)

Year: 2005

Price: $7.99

Worth? $5

Winemaker’s notes

Aroma: Hints of dark berries, red plum, cocoa bean, nutmeg and vanilla fill the nose.
Flavor: Ripe boysenberry and black cherry are accented by notes of dark chocolate and cinnamon. Soft hints of creamy vanilla accompany the lingering finish.

Just didn’t like it. Too harsh. It mellowed a bit after breating, but I wouldn’t buy this wine again.
