The nose had a strong cedar aroma, like opening a cedar chest. There was also a bit of blackberry and plum on the nose. The mouth feel is very full and satisfying. The palate has big blackberry and plum flavors. It’s a bit jammy, but not too much so. A little walnut is also in there and there’s some mid-palate chocolate. A super spicy finish that makes this quite enjoyable.

Inky brick red in color. Raspberry, cassis and mint notes in nose. Sour cherry, raspberry and mint notes in mouth, with time, plum notes emerge. Some fine grain tannins- seed and skin- and prune notes on finish. Reliable affordable red, decant awhile if you can.

Pretty good, wouldn't buy again only because there are so many better zins. I guess it's a pretty good deal though on sale at like $9

Structurely sound with balanced weight and fruit. Drank this at the right time; lost a lot of the vanilla oak influences and developed large amounts of spicy anise and blackberries. Slightly jammy, but not overpowering.

Loved it. Definitely a hint of black cherry and raspberry flavor with a hint of vanilla.
