There's amazing zin. Balanced with a pop of freshness that carries into soft blueberries with a touch of sour. All giving great structure to the wine. This wine has those elements but they're all a bit muted. You can sense them well enough and the price makes this wine a must buy in my opinion.

Ruby in color with medium intensity and a pinkish rim.

Strong nose of cherries, blueberries, fresh strawberries, red candy, light vanilla, licorice, wood, smoke, chocolates and peppercorn.

Light to medium bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with cherries, red currants, sweet raspberries, vanilla, oak, chocolates, coffee, graphite, spices and peppercorn.

Medium finish with soft tannins and tangy cranberries.

This Zinfandel from Paso Robles, is easy drinking and simple. Well-balanced and fruit forward. Very enjoyable by itself or with food, and good wine for parties, too.

A good beginners red wine, with a soft mouthfeel.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 45 minutes of airtime.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Meh. At 5$ it was red wine and it tasted like such. It was flat and boring but a bunch of girls watching the bachelor all drank it... So, there's that.
