Vinomofo Wine Deals

Says cellaring 5-7 years... So this would be end of life?

Safe guideline?, Zinfande can cellar a very long time.

You can always call the winery tomorrow, and ask them about the 2012! I've done this plenty of times

I would contact VM, email title says 2014 but the link says 2012.

I did notice the 2012/2014 inconsistency. Typical vinomofo failure.

Just to confirm, I had the T&C Cab

Apparently this no good, from my source.

As in the Zinfandel no good?...

I think Zin is an amazing wine if done correctly. Very hard to find good examples. This would be one of the better ones in Au

Zinfandel 2012 - Black Market Deal #30722 (Zinfandel 2012 - Black Market Deal #30722)

I believe is this one:

T&C California Zinfandel | Tomich Wines

The Zinfandel ripens early and exhibits the finesse and intense berry flavors of the original Primitivo Clone from Italy. Matured in lightly toasted French and American barrels. Vintage 2012 in Paso Robles saw a good and steady growing season. It was the first year of a series of dry seasons and...

Anyone tried it?

Yes, I have had quite a few of these. They are ready to drink now though, if that is what it is.

I actually preferred this to their Cab Sav.

Any tasting notes? You had 2012 Zin?

 

[Vipers]

I bought 6 of the Zins and 6 of the Cab Savs. The Zin is dark cherry with a touch of age to it. I found it very smooth and easy to drink. Depending how it has been stored, it should be drunk sooner rather than later, but should be very pleasant to drink. I paid $50/bottle for them about 12 months ago, so at $30/bottle provides good value.

@olympicwiz I was querying Mynameislucluc's statement which seemed ambiguous as I didn't know whether it was the Cab Sav or Zin that he was referring to. The best Aussie Zin I've ever had was this:

[olympicwiz]

Thank you for the tip the MR Zin - always on a look out for a good example of the variety. Also tried Cape Mentelle Zin that I thought was very good - was a while ago

I've drank alot of the Cab Sav, different vintages as I have access to it at a discounted rate.

I haven't had it for a while, but I really enjoy it and I specifically asked my brother to get me a 6PK.

I have not had their Zin, my brother responded to me with "Zinfandel no good. It’s the Cabernet".

Now, I haven't clarified if he simply doesn't like Zin or he meant T&C Zin is no good.

Everyone enjoys different wine, but VM has a great return policy. I would suggest if you buy, open a bottle straight away to see if you enjoy it and to distinguish how much time potentially left.

 

[Whining&dining]

Ahhh, that's what I thought re the recommendation, I've only tried one Californian Zin previously and thought it was OK but nothing to get too excited about...

Just used SUMMERLOVIN60 for $60 off. Might be an old code as expires tonight (apologies if already mentioned).

Thanks. Got me over the line for the Zinfandel. Happy to pay $20 a bottle for these, even if there is a short drinking window.

 

[Mynameismynameis]

Another code? What to buy!

I am considering a GSM, OR THAT LUCKY DIP!

I was just about to use the SUMMERSPLURGE25 they SMSd me for $25 off. This was a significant improvement!

Cheers!

They have never sent me a code and I've spent thousands!

Who says you can't use SUMMERSPLURGE25 as-well?

Can't apply a second code to a single order
Presumably I could use this on a second order. Not sure if they're one order per customer or not
Edit: verified the summerlovn code is single use per account

Not sure if there's an issue with the summerlovin code, but I've not received confirmation of my order from Vinomofo. Although, curiously, shopback has tracked on the purchase.

Likewise. No fuss if they cancel - I don't need anymore wine!
