I chose the 2009 EOS estate Zinfandel from Paso Robles, CA as my wine of the week for a few reasons: 1. Could not beat the price, it was only $9. 2. I have tried it before and remembered it being tasty and wanted to see if I remembered correctly, I did. EOS winery is located right outside of Paso Robles with beautiful rolling hills and vineyards surrounding the grounds, from my experience with their wines they continually make complex big reds and beautifully composed whites. Paso Robles is really starting to become more well known as a wine destination more and more every year and recently was named 2013 Wine Region of the Year. Specifically becoming more known for their Rhone style Reds such as Zinfandel and Syrah, Paso Robles wineries specialize in upwards of 40 different varietals, so whether you like Red or White Paso Robles not only offers a different style of wine and winemaking, its laid back nature makes it a place you just want to be.
Tasting Notes: Aroma of Raspberry, charred oak, with hints of pepper and vanilla. On the palate Raspberry jam, pepper, black cherry with a long supple finish. Definitely worth a try!
