Tonight's dinner was bbq back ribs, and that means a no-brainer to drink: Zinfandel. I had recently acquired this bottle of Dynamite Zinfandel (not a review just the name) from Michigan for under ten bucks, around $8.99US, and with the exchange rate being what it is that means I got it for even less than that. I couldn't have asked for much more from an under $10 Zin - it had lots of plum, vanilla and black cherry aromas to start with, the palate followed pretty much the same way with hints of wood-spice as the opening bite. As the wine opened further and I got deeper into my mound of ribs the wine developed a cinnamon plum sensation and gentle spice through the mouth. Not dynamite, but pretty darn good.
Love your reviews, going to try this brand tomorrow...should be fun as I've always shyed away from Zinfandels. Keep it up!
