Mari reviewed this wine:

Inniskillin was the first BC Zinfandel I ever tasted, around 2007. Light red in color, the current vintage has aromas of black cherry and spicy oak. The palate is peppery with black cherries and has a lush mouthfeel, good balance, and some bright acidity. The finish is a little short but has lovely cherry notes and a hint of briar. It’s an easy drinking zin, approachable and pleasant, and surprisingly good with stir fry laced with soy sauce.

Dark red in color with a nose full of spice, herbs, jammy black cherry, and cocoa powder. In the mouth it has ripe fresh fruit, sweet oak and cookie dough, finishing with a rush of acidity, candied black fruit, and notes of chocolate. This zin was a crowd favorite, said to be “delicious” “jammy”, “juicy”, “satisfying” and “complex” by the group. Perfect with lamb, caramel cake and dark chocolate.

Deep red, almost black, in color. The nose exhibits notes of black and blue fruit, flowers, baking spice, and berry pie. The palate starts smooth and lush, then turns zingy with acidity followed by layers of black and blue fruit. It has excellent balance, good structure, and a rich, full body. The finish has medium length of red and black fruit, with refreshing acidity. An elegant food wine, very approachable and friendly, perfect with quesadilla and salsa, lamb, chicken, and bbq ribs.

Mari reviewed this wine:

This wine is deep colored with purple edges and has aromas of licorice and briary fruit. In the mouth there’s a mix of bright red fruit and big plum flavors, plus spices and black pepper. It’s a bit angular in structure, and lots of good acidity make it quite juicy. The finish is long and dry with bright fruit lingering. Somewhat syrah like in its plumminess, it paired nicely with lamb and chicken kabobs.
