This is a decent enough Zinfandel blend, smooth-bodied with some cherry and currant fruits, and a bit of acidic licorice to the finish. The only discordant note is a sort of paper pulp/cardboard flavor to the main body.

This is essentially a SuperTuscan blend: Zinfandel, Syrah, Merlot, and Cabernet. It makes an excellent dinner table wine, but perhaps not an ideal cocktail wine. It was perfect for leftover night, proving its food-friendly versatility. It has some minerality, a sort of chalkiness to the body; black currant and clove flavors with a touch of bitter black strap molasses to the finish.

This appears to be a Zinfandel dominant red blend, a miracle of oenological alchemy. It has Zin-like jamminess and Syrah-like pepper. It is on the big end of medium bodied and has nice thick tannic structure.

Strong body filled with berries and currants, tulc, and lingering dark coffee after taste. Good nice Zinfandel blend.

Perfect for a table wine. Chaos describes the flavors—cannot pinpoint just one, but somehow all meld into a palpable wine. Full bodied, gritty texture, lots of flavors.

Hint of jam and a slight aroma of toast. Smooth on palate with a flavor of crushed cherries is dry on the sides but overall a nice Zin blend.
