Leese-Fitch Zinfandel 2016 Review by (BC)


Lighter cranberry jelly hue with aromas of subtle blueberry, classic Zin spiciness, with foundational dark berry notes.

Palate--Steely front palate with dark berry notes and not much else.

This is a good example of a sourced mass produced Zinfandel that doesn't do the varietal justice.  These are offered at the ubiquitous price point of $10 and in this case you get what you pay for.  I love Zinfandel and it doesn't have to be pricey.  I have had some excellent ones I found for $12-$15 over the past year and when you can afford it, hey are worth the splurge of mid $20's on up for some pretty special wines.  So don't let the rather strange name scare you.  Value for value, they are one of the best wine values out there so "Raise a glass!"
