A return to the Quick Picks format last seen almost a year ago with a review of a value-price Zinfandel.

Tasting Notes:

Castle Rock, Zinfandel, Sonoma County 2004 ($10) - Dark purple in color with aromas of blackberry, sage and a touch of vanilla. Round and soft in the mouth with boysenberry and blackberry flavors, some spice and silky, sweet tannins. An excellent value drinking as well as wines more than twice it’s price.

13.9% ABV

Composite cork closure

Score: 88
