2009 - Cocobon - California Red


Place to buy: Trader Joes

Cost: $6.99

Variety: 61% Zinfandel, 17% Cabernet Franc, 12% Merlot, 6% Petite Verdot, 4% Petite Sirah

Lori's score: 9.5/10

Nate's score: still waiting, but maybe 7/10

Comments: Lori said right away, "This is what I'm talking about. Really mellow and a little sweet."
There's no doubt about it it's sweet. I'll try and update my post later when we finish the rest of the bottle. I do agree there wasn't much burn, but I don't know that there was that much taste to it either. Seemed a bit simple, but that's fine in some cases. I did notice the "vanilla" to it.

Reviews by others online are very positive as well. Almost everyone likes the wine and its a good typical drinker.

Update: Don't remember what it was like, I just drank it. We'll have to buy another bottle :)
