The weather has been unseasonably cool in West County so we pulled out some young’n Zinfandels to pair with our bbq. Pedestrian notes but what the heck. ![[cheers.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/0/0ff9bfcdb0964982cd3240b6159868fbdf215b1a.gif "cheers"){kind=small}

2008 Carlisle Zinfandel Papera Ranch - USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley (8/6/2011)
Big Red Baby Killing (Our home): Extremely aromatic when decanted. Rich boysenberry and blackberry notes. A touch hot at first but settled down with some air. Very elegant for a big wine. Savored every sip. The least spicy of the flight. Brought something different to the table. -
2008 Turley Zinfandel Old Vines - USA, California (8/6/2011)
Big Red Baby Killing (Our home): Classic Turley spice on the nose and palate. Deep dark red and black fruit. Medium bodied, balanced acidity, oak, pepper… For $25 this was a good buy but my last one. -
2009 Bedrock Wine Co. Heirloom Wine Dolinsek Ranch - USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley (8/6/2011)
Big Red Baby Killing (Our home): This bottle has settled down in the past 6 months. Ripe red and black fruit, nice acidity and the tannins are staring to calm down a bit. Showing a little more polish than in January. -
2009 Bedrock Wine Co. Zinfandel Stellwagen Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Valley (8/6/2011)
Big Red Baby Killing (Our home): Great nose on this one of dark fruit and spice. Bigger texture than the Dolinsek and a bit more stuffing. Not nearly as tannic. really drinking well right now.
