Paid $24.99 approximately 10 years ago. Good fill level and cork in great shape. 13.9% alcohol. Super deep garnet color with browning rims. Lovely, chocolate bouquet. Good fruit on palate with moderate tannins, but fading slightly. Lightly astringent finish. A few years past peak but drinking well. Making old bones. Thin film of sediment inside of bottle. 87/100.
Purchased for $18.99. Regular price around $35.00. I have seen it for sale on line for $12.99!!
14.5 % alcohol. Artificial cork. Deep purple color. Lovely bouquet. Tons of sweet ripe fruit on palate. Low acidity and a little heat. Some tannin and grip in finish. The proverbial fruit bomb. Virtually at peak and should hold a couple of years. A few particles of sediment. 88/100
A blend of Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Carignane, but no percentages given. Mid neck fill. Cork in good shape and 50% soaked thru. Deep garnet color with obvious browning. Lovely bouquet with no heat evident. (14.5% alcohol). Thick, burnt fruit on palate. No heat on palate either. Well past peak and making old bones. Inside of bottle coated with thick sediment. 87/100.
Last Saturday I went to a Bogaski family reunion on Red Top Mountain by Lake Alatoona. I got this picture of the Bogaski sisters probably taken in the late 1950s. The woman second from the right is my late father's mother, who married Carl Cunningham, my grandfather. When I was a child I knew her as "Momma C". She died with dementia around 1967.
