Remember back in the 1990's when cigars were all the rage? The first vintage of M. Cosentino's "Cigarzin" was released during the craze as a wine with the backbone and structure to standup to a great cigar.
This definitely was a big zinfandel but it did not blow me away. There was a lot of bright red fruit early on, which gave way to a good core of spice and darker fruits. Certainly not what I would call a fruit bomb, but I was surprised at how much fruit showed through. The spiciness was well represented, but did not seem to carry the undercurrent and balance out the fruit. The finish was somewhat short, leaving me to wonder where it went.
Definitely not a bad zinfandel for $17.99, but there are others out there that I would definitely recommend over this especially with a cigar.
Cheers!
