HotCosts Tasting Notes

Our 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 - Vines on the Marycrest 2005 Paso Robles My Generation Zinfandel Blend

group notes: Deep, dark garnet color, fading to pink at the rim, with black cherry, black raspberry and oak in good proportion on the nose. Flavors echo and expand, being smooth, balanced and structured for 3 to 5 years of aging, if not more. Lots of fruit without the sweetness found in other ripe fruit Zins.
