Oh my! After so many good zins at the Cali Wine Fest this is the best one by a stretch. Gorgeous, composed, rich and extremely svelt in body. This is a beastly zin and for $20 you will be absolutely stoked. Do it. - Ross

Big jammy nose with white pepper. Jamminess continues on to palate with hints of smoked bbq burnt ends. Dark inky color, medium to full body. Absolutely outstanding worth every dollar

One of the best wines Ive ever tasted. Big jammy nose, big texture and wonderful explosive jammy flavor. Slight lingering flavor, very mild tannins. Drink alone or with food either way. Best blend I've ever had. The price is worth every bit!

Candied, salty bacon. Everywhere. Lighter in abv at 14.5% but necessary as it adds elegance to an otherwise to sweet wine for me. Black fruits and smoked meat noticeable as well.

My first Zinfandel experience. Fruit forward and heady alcohol hit. Balanced tannin and acidity with just a hint of sweetness. Fun to drink!
