Zinfandel

Review by Jack on 6/9/2022

Started 5/21/21 and racked every 2-3 weeks. Aged in 5 gallon water Carboy. I immediately reordered both Zinfandel and Merlot. Liked them both and bottled some for two year tasting.

funky

Review by Stephen on 5/21/2021

I had purchased Zinfandel concentrate before when it came in a can and thought it was a wonderful product. For some reason the new Zinfandel I purchase this year in a very dirty funky earthy flavor to it. Not very happy. Not sure if I just got a crappy batch or what

Zinfandel concentrate

Review by Gary Hoover on 10/14/2020

a great product at an affordable price. I've fermented this one many times and never had an issue. I try and let it age a minimum of 1 year before drinking and rack a couple of times during aging to help clear it. I use stainless kegs for secondary fermentation and aging and then dispense with a beer tap using argon gas. works like a charm and no bottling needed. A great product at a great price.

Get it on ferment soon

Review by Chris on 9/21/2019

Great product. I waited a few weeks before getting it into a fermenter, and was glad they double bagged the juice with heavy plastic as our warmer weather here appeared to cause it to begin fermenting in the bag, it ballooned and opened the packing box on its own. Got it into the fermenter, added water until SG came down to about 1.100, for a total volume of about 4.5 gallons. Juice at that point had good aroma, fuller body and nice taste. Added a packet of yeast, and it was off and bubbling that evening. Will add oak chips after transferring to settle. I believe this is going to be a good one.

Berries galore

Review by Steel on 10/31/2012

Decided to skip oak chips. One can taste the berries better without the oak. Excellent even as a young wine. Dark, medium bodied, fruity and full of berries. Color gets lighter as it ages past the 3 months mark. Accompanies food well. Lalvin Bourgovin RC 212 - works better than the red star. Requires 3 raking, for complete and spontaneous clearing. Did not use clarifying agents. Overall, a good value and wine making experience.
