Located in California, in Santa Cruz, the Bonny Doon winery was founded in 1983 by Randall Grahm, one of the forerunners of organic farming and the use of grapes from the Rhone Valley.
The grapes are sourced from the Paso Robles wine region, one of the most interesting and diverse wine-growing areas on California's central coast. But the region is characterized by important microclimates. To the east, the mountains of Santa Lucia by the cold Pacific Ocean, experience more fog, wind, and ocean precipitation than the rest of the Paso sub-denominations. To the west, you will find the hottest and most western appellations of Paso Robles. Soft, powerful, and fruity wines are produced here, especially Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel. Thanks to the large temperature range between day and night, these wines are also characterized by surprising acidity.
The wine is a blend of 75% Zinfandel, 18% Tannat and 7% Petite Sirah. The grapes are delicately de-stemmed and crushed. Maceration is prolonged to favor greater extraction. The wine is then aged in new oak barrels.
This Zinfandel is an opulent and intense wine with a rich and decisive palate, and tasty flavors of red fruit jam accompanied by a soft spicy finish. The medium acidity creates a harmonious balance. Try it with spicy lamb.

The Big Red Monster Zinfandel
overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
