So delicious for such an inexpensive wine. Very approachable with rich dark fruits on the nose, almost like you can smell the sunshine in Lodi. Well structured on the palate with the typical high alcohol content of a Zinfandel, however it isn't overbearing (let this one breathe a bit after opening and it really subsides). Long, pleasant finish that lingers on the palate long after the last sip

Capa media baja y densidad baja, mucha potencia en nariz, cacao, vainilla, frutas rojas maduras, canela. En boca entrada muy suave ligero en el paso y con un final cálido y agradable.

Rich berry fruitiness, slightly spicy and chewy.
Works well with pâté and eminently quaffable on its own.

Great Zin for the price point. Not overly spicy but enough kick to make me happy.

I got this from Total Wine. Pretty good Zin for the price. Good not great. Peppery with some subtle spice.
