Artezin Dry Creek Zinfandel 2006

Nice dark ruby color, but on the nose I wasn’t happy.  I was smelling weeds, bug spray and peanuts.  I bravely went in for a taste and was rewarded!  I got a very different taste than smell which doesn’t happen very often.  In the mouth the wine had great texture and feel with some decent complexity.  I’d guess that a real wino would be able to identify more in this wine than I can.  I tasted sweet blackberry, black cherry,  jam and sage.  I don’t know when I’ve had such a bad reaction to a nose of a wine and then found the mouth to be that much better.  Since we really care how the wine tastes I have to say that this is a pretty good wine.  Wine.com has it selling for 40% off right now so jump on it while you can.
