Ah, sigh, I really was looking for a big, jammy zinfandel, but got squonked at the LCB and the Strath. Another time. If you just can't wait, I really do recommend seeking out Bonny Doon Vinyards' "Cardinal Zin". The bottle has great art, silly writing and contains an elixir not to be missed. As for my offering, my official notes: feh. Kinda wussy, way too much shiraz. A small shame. Oh, and next time you want a truly silly wine, try the Sparkling Shiraz from Banrock Station. Great Sunday brunch wine - like a pre-made Kir Royal. Never take wine too seriously, just drink and enjoy (ideally in good company).
