Can't get over the incredibly thin mouthfeel. I like me some fruity quaffable wine, but the thin-ness combined with a less-than stellar aftertaste have left me contemplating pouring this out. Should stick to the (fantastically priced) Italian red when buying sub-$10 wines at TJ's

So after a hard day, you can't be mad with a $3 chuck. Kinda thin for a Zin , but will do in a pinch.

Unremarkable, but quite drinkable for a cheap wine.

Not too bad for a $5 wine. I would not consider that good compared to other zins I like, but I prefer it over other $5 range wines.

Very fruity and peppery tasting with a nice mouthfeel. Easy finish as well.

The flavor is nice, but the wine was surprisingly thin. I don't love the mouthfeel after a drink.
