HotCosts Tasting NotesOur mission is to provide unbiased opinions of the wine being offered. These notes come from up to 10 guests who tasted this wine in a blind tasting format (wine is concealed so their identity is unknown). Why this format? Tasting blind completely throws out any hype associated with a certain winery, style, price point, etc; it forces the taster to accept what is in the glass without any predetermined notions.Our tasters are not wine professionals, but a cross-representation of professions where the common denominator is our love for wine. We utilize Robert Parker's Glossary of Wine Terms to help write our comments. In addition, we utilize the wine aroma wheel to enhance our ability to describe the complexity of wine flavor. Blind Tasting Notes - Trinitas Cellars 2005 Zinfandel, Spinelli Vineyard
BH: Long legs with some color to them. I got a candle wax aroma along with some berries and vanilla taste. Medium to high acidity and alcohol.
DJO: A wonderful baked good odor with some sweet berries added during the tasting. A blueberry tongue.
MA: Dark purple in color with no changing rim colors. High viscosity and color on tear drops. The nose did not burn showing the alcohol is balanced. Red fruit and cedar nose and taste. A very long finish, smooth all around.
RA: Nice dark purple color. Smooth nose with some earthiness and red fruit. Long, thick finish. |
