Literally the worst wine I've ever had. It's almost as if I added alcohol to a syrupy juice concentrate and tried to sell it as wine. You are better off spiking welch's grape juice than drinking this bottle of grape flavored dimetapp cough syrup. Save yourself 10 dollars and the general self loathing you'll experience by purchasing this and just don't drink for the evening.

It was so so. It reminded me of smoking cigarettes on a beach somewhere in Europe. Enjoying the sun, enjoying myself, and not really caring what I'm drinking. Carefree but not the most tasty.

One of the most flavorful Zinfandel’s I’ve tasted. Although I liked it the pepper flavor was a bit strong and it was very fruity. Otherwise quite unique.

Decent Zin from Sainsbury's in the U.K. I recommend price point of £8-9 shows good value. Decant or open the day before for juicy smoothness, lacking a bit of the harshness you'd want but good glugging wine.
