Greatly enjoyed. Super smooth. Would go well with anything from buttery seafood to savory red meat dishes.

Love this WSJ wine club cab/Zin blend. So smooth and fruit forward with a chocolate finish. Note to self. Order more!

All butter on the nose and jammy fruit and smooth on the palate. Fun to drink by itself while sitting around with the family.

Not bad for a Zinfandel mix. I didn’t expect much but was very surprised.
I had this again and really enjoyed it the second tine. Changing my rating
