Renwood 2005 Red Zin

2005
Sierra Foothills
California

Will drink again - already did, and will yet again.

I had this wine a couple of weeks ago alone and really, really liked it. I had it again tonight with salmon and crab cakes. It tasted different, more peppery than fruity, but it was still good. Tonight it had more of an herb taste than a sweeter, plum taste that I noticed before. It's easily drinkable. It smells a bit like a summer barbecue in a glass. Not a bad finish, sort of "meaty". I think it's a good value for the price.

The coldness still resonates, aches,
thoughts disintegrating laden with strife.
Shut out, message received, loud and clear,
looks good on paper but not in real life.
As if things every really could . . .
Yes, just let it be . . .another glass of Renwood.
