Tasting - "Pinetti Notte Puglia Zinfandel"

Name: Pinetti Notte
Variety: Zinfandel (red)
Region: Puglia
Country: Italy
Year: 2013
Price: $6.00

Winery review: "The quintessential Zinfandel exhibits a velvety richness and depth of flavor.  Earthy aromas reveal bright cherry and blackberry with a subtle hint of white pepper."

My review: Very bold smell, I can definitely sense the cherry/fruity nose.  Flavor is fruity and dry, but has a smooth texture.  The finish is strong and seems slightly spicy, which must be the "subtle hint of white pepper."  Overall, it was good, but I would like to try a more expensive Zinfandel to compare the flavors and texture with this one.
