BA CA Home Base Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley (Sonoma) 2021

Purple with some depth and aromas of sweet plum and nuanced herbal notes.

Palate-- Mouth watering acidity with unctuous dark berry and raspberry, a strong herbal presence mid-palate but shallows out with a fleeting finish. 

A bit of a watery texture which is disappointing.  This wine was given 92 pts by the esteemed Wine Enthusiast. I am not tasting that... 

I paid $21 for this Zin with a reference price of $40. I would have been VERY disappointed at $40 and I am even disappointed at the $21 I paid. I regularly drink Zins for half that price and they are as good, maybe better. At the $21 price point I would give it a pass much less the $40 mark...
