Gen 5 got some bonus points, being a Oklahoma boy, like myself I always appreciate someone leaving something better than they found it (as stated on the back of the label). There is a lot going on with this wine, vanilla hints, rather spicy notes, and a weird raspberry/cherry combination. As you know from previous wine reviews I am not experienced with Zinfandels, and usually stick with my Cabs. This is not appealing to me and will take some time coming around to this drink. — 6 years ago
“Made for your family, made for your friends, made for a man I called Dad.” No shit I teared up when I read the back of this bottle. Then I took a sip. WOW. This is the kind of wine that is dangerous. It’s easy to drink, goes well with your dinner, but can also be drank very comfortably on it’s own. There’s a strong cherry flavor that keeps it sweet, yet dry. I’m a big fan of this versatile wine, it’s a wine that makes me think of Christmas. I will purchase this again. — 6 years ago
Got this wine at Target for $6.50, normally a $13 bottle of wine with good notes of cherry and subtle blackberry hints. It’s understandable why this wine was prized by Kings and Queens for centuries, price tonight was 10/10. Taste was there but would like more layers to my Cabs. A little watered down, but expected in a way. I will be coming back to Noble Vines 337. I’d be lying if I said the bottles presentation wasn’t a damn mood. — 6 years ago
Ripe fruit with a touch of oak. I thoroughly enjoyed this wine. As you can tell from prior wine reviews, i stick with $9 bottles. I usually drink Gallo wines, but this makes me want to switch my thought process. A very smooth overall great wine. — 6 years ago
The red cherry was very present in this wine. I can’t recall ever having Malbec, but after tasting this wine there is a vibrant sweetness with a subtle tart at the end. Not as many strawberry notes as I had hoped. I read on the label that it pairs well with a ribeye, but I paired this red with some pasta and it was a very great fit. I am going to go back to this bottle. — 6 years ago
I saved this bottle to pair with a nice prime cut, boy did I fuck up. This wine is sharp and harsh the whole way down your throat. Usually you want a wine to compliment your meal, this one I just wanted to shove more mashed potatoes in my mouth. I am being pretty aggressive towards this wine and thought there was a point where I thought it was bearable, then I cleaned my pallet. I won’t have another glass of Chop Shop as long as I live. — 6 years ago
From beginning to end I never feel truly satisfied drinking a glass of this wine. A little dull in the beginning and sharp at the end. Save this one for your mother in law. I am being pretty harsh about this wine, love the branding and have the 19 crimes app downloaded. Yearning for a more satisfying taste. — 6 years ago
