Very tutti fruity in the nose with a slightly sweaty Alicante Boucher character that makes me suspect mega purple. That being said, the wine smells enticing, is soft and off dry in the finish and will be popular with a crowd, but not so much for geeks. A bench top wine, designed by science to be delicious. Not sure if u would recognize it blind as 100% zin. Match with 4th of July BBQ.. Burgers and dogs.

Very drinkable! Bold and smooth. And the price is right too!

I always buy this at the 5 cent sale at BevMo. For the price and flavor it's a staple of our weekday wine selection.

Decant it first and you'd think it was a $20-30 bottle. Great for the price.

Smoky, smooth, soft and a touch dry. I like to drink this Zin with a meaty spaghetti.
