Not the usual place you see Zinfandel being grown, which is what prompted me to buy this bottle in the first place, a whopping 12.99 in the state of Florida at a place called Wine World. The guy behind the counter said it was a good wine, nothing earth shattering, he had tried it but "it did not stand out as something fantastic" he told me. But I just had to try it for myself. The nose was loaded with vanilla and spice; on the palate there was spiced-plum along with cinnamon-vanilla notes. It lacked the fruitiness that I expect from my Zinfandels, it was still enjoyable to drink, it was just atypical, but then again it was a Zinfandel from Australia, how typical is that?
