Great wine. Needs more than an hour for the wine to open but its worth the wait! For under $10 at Trader Joe's you can't beat it.

Soft and smooth. One of my favorite Zinfandels. Raspberry and plum with a hint of vanilla.

Full disclosure: tasted before it had much opportunity to open. Blackberry and yeast on the nose. Medium bodied with currant, earth, and strawberry. More tannic than an average Zinfandel, but again- minimal time to open. Not a fruit bomb, but not super dry either.

What more do you want from a wine that shares it’s name with my boxer briefs?
