The nose on the Zinfandel consisted of blackberry, fudge and heat/alcohol. Tasting the wine you got dark cherry, clove and licorice as the dominate flavours. The structure of the wine seemed a little off as the tannin was low to non-existent, good acidity, high alcohol and lingering finish. Seghesio usually makes an outstanding Zinfandel but this one comes up a little short of their usual effort. It was a pretty good pairing with the burger though.
Here is the group rating for the wine – Mick - 88, Mark - 87, Kathy – 88, Amy - 87, Overall – 87.5.
There was no LCBO information on this wine so I'm assuming that Mick picked it up in the US.
The burgers were really good but super spicy – they aren’t called Diablo burger for nothing!
