Gorgeous velvety texture. Great legs, awesome color and deep red. Mild tannins, raspberry, plum, light jammy without sweet...small mint and tobacco aftertaste. Mild dryness...perfect!

Uninspiring. The zin fruit is there but there's no structure, maybe due to low acidity. The whole thing starts flabby and then falls apart. Not terrible but wouldn't buy again.

Aromas of red ripe fruits and sweet spice. On the palate raspberry and cherry flavors, very jammy. Overly acidic, strong pepper notes, smoky oak finishing with harsh medium tannins. Screams for food. Pass on this big box store wine. Tasting Sample.

Deep Ruby in color in the glass. Medium body with some pepper and spice on the palate. A good value for this wine.
