Kenwood Zinfandel 2005

Thanks to Deboss for another great wine pick.  I first had this wine a couple weeks ago at a friends house and we all liked it so much I went out and bought a bottle of my own.  You can find this wine for around $10 at your local Safeway and Giant.  Wine.com has it for $12.

The Zin is a blend from two different vineyards.  Each was fermented in stainless steel and then aged separately in American and French barrels before being blended together and bottled. The winemaker says that although it is enjoyable now it will age well for another decade.

On the nose of this wine we got cherry, herbs and a little oak.  There was also a litle bit of floral on the nose which I usually pick up in the zinfandels.  The taste was full of more cherry and red fruit with a little bit of herbs and mocha.  It was very smooth and well balanced.
