Trentadue Winery 2006 Old Patch Red...

   Summer has finally hit the Pacific Northwest, and it is time to think about a wine that will be the perfect match for the outdoor BBQ. This zinfandel based kitchen sink blend fits the bill perfectly. Hedonistic without going over-the-top this wine displays a nose of dusty ripe blackberries. On the palate you get ripe (Not overripe) blackberries all day. Silky tannins that glide across the palate into a medium to long finish. This wine tastes like a zin with a touch of culture. A great match for anything with BBQ sauce and perfect for enjoying with friends and family all by itself I can't think of a better way to spend twelve bucks this season. Cheers! Stan the Wine Man

P.S.

   I tried this wine over a three day period, and I have to tell you it did not deteriorate at all, and I thought it was a little better the second day. Not bad for a wine in this price range!
