Winery review: Sunset Sipper is a fabulous, full body experience Zinfandel. From your
head to your toes, there is enjoyment to be had from this wine! Sunset
has a full nose with ripe dark berries and fig. The palate is complete,
covering the whole mouth and throat with rich flavors, velvety texture,
and a smooth finish. Even with 16.1 % alcohol, this wine is well
balanced due to the presence of 4% residual sugar. It is a "sweet" wine
that drinks as if it were dry! Perfect for beef, strong cheeses,
tomato sauces, and sitting by the fireplace or watching the sun set.
My review: A very full red wine. A sweeter zinfandel. Full of flavors, especially heavy berry flavors. Hint of cranberry. I enjoyed this wine and would be interested in trying it again, with food.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
