Blueberry and boysenberry explode from the glass. Mrs. Knott’s punch and pie, anyone? Reminds me of dessert and dinner after days at Knott’s park in the sun. Makes me crave crispy fried buttermilk chicken and biscuits to pair. Baking berry pie, spice and crust across the mouth. The nose is what makes this wine so crave-able, and the palate matches perfectly. Juicy and baking spicy. Great value and still drinking well!

Blueberry pie nose. Fruit forward easy drinking. Fresh berries, luscious at a slurpable price. Nice clove spice on the finish.

Lots of fruit up front with a nice spicy finish. A proper Zin, in my view.

Hard to beat at under $15. One of my favorites from Sextant. Great pepper, blackberry and clove, strong and smooth.

Love this wine, I usually buy several bottles of the Sextant wine when I am in San Luis Obispo. Smooth and beautiful finish. Great with grilled Greek chicken. Hints of berry and pepper.

Very smooth and delicious. One of the best Zins we’ve had in awhile. Great to drink alone or with a meal.
