Great Price = Great Taste in this Wine

EOS 2009 Red Zinfendel was a favorite of many at our wine tasting a week ago and I want to share this especially with you.  EOS Estate Winery is located in Paso Robles, California about half way between Los Angeles and San Francisco.  The county is subject to similar climatic influences as its northern counterpart in Napa.  You can find more information about EOS Estate Winery here:  http://www.eosvintage.com/index.cfm 

This wine was not only enjoyed at our tasting because of the taste, but the price was only $8.99 at the LCB here in York.  I sugges you go now and buy up every bottle you can find.  The 2009 Eos Zinfandel has dark ruby hues of garnet. The aroma exhibits classic peppery Zinfandel spice with raspberry highlights of boysenberry jam. Secondary aromas of cola, briar patch, and sultanas follow. On the palate, the wine is refreshing with zippy acidity and a lush palate. Flavors of jammed raspberries and spiciness persist. The finish is tightly knit and leaves the taster with a refreshed impression making this an excellent food wine.

2009 was a great year in this area for the Zinfandel in the Paso Robles region because it was a cool year that allowed the fruit to barley ripen and therefor exhibited surprising restraint for a Zinfand
