 Tasted by markIn50266 on 1/6/2010 & rated 87 points: Still a very good wine, though the consensus is that it's aging. (309 views)
 Tasted by burns777 on 12/18/2009: If you like big and bold zins, this is not the one for you. A very light bodied zin with a pretty boring, almost entirely pepper, finish. Reminds me a lot of a Pinot. Don't think we'll buy again, even at the great price. (531 views)
 Tasted by Flashman on 12/16/2009 & rated 88 points: (416 views)

 Tasted by carnsland on 11/5/2009 & rated 83 points: (604 views)
 Tasted by Rupal on 10/22/2009 & rated 84 points: Good wine, very jammy.. Even hints of sweetness. OK wine. Decent value for the price. (916 views)
 Tasted by rrtims on 10/13/2009 & rated 86 points: Good old vine zin. Bold taste. A little harsh at first, but it gets better.l (967 views)
 Tasted by JHaslam on 9/22/2009 & rated 84 points: (782 views)
 Tasted by Pool Boy on 9/21/2009 & rated 83 points: Not bad. Good brambly fruit flavors buit somewhat one-dimensional. Good pizza wine, though. 83pts. (690 views)
 Tasted by collinb227 on 9/12/2009 & rated 89 points: Initially very acholic, and hot
after the first hour it really mellowed out
grapy with a little pepper (1193 views)
 Tasted by billyg on 8/27/2009 & rated 88 points: Some berry juice with a little oak on the nose. Blackberry, blueberry attack. Vanilla mixes with the berries on the transition. Sour raspberry on the finish. This is a pretty good value for those who like the hot weather zinfandel style. (1208 views)
 Tasted by nkatuhn on 8/17/2009 & rated 89 points: Initial taste wasn't spectacular, but the second sip got much better. There was a sour note that seemed to saturate the tounge and then wasn't noticeable any longer. This wine has a fruity initial punch of currant and cherries, with a long fruity and somewhat spiced finish. Notes of cinnamon seem to come through in the middle. A great drink for the $13 price point. (1238 views)
 Tasted by Patch on 8/1/2009 & rated 87 points: Nice and smooth. A touch of spice without much acidity. (1328 views)
 Tasted by jaalol on 7/23/2009 & rated 83 points: (1027 views)
 Tasted by mpricher on 7/18/2009 & rated 86 points: Nothing special in this Zin. It is easy drinking and a little jammy. Otherwise, there is better juice out there for $1-2 more... (1437 views)
 Tasted by skoch on 7/12/2009 & rated 85 points: Light garnet color; nose of dark berries and a hint of spice and leather; somewhat light body with berry, pepper, and coffee predominant; tannins a bit heavy; a bit short on the finish (1395 views)
 Tasted by JHaslam on 7/7/2009 & rated 84 points: (1066 views)
 Tasted by twinge on 6/28/2009: Very fruity. I really enjoyed it. (1476 views)

California Wines (Wine Institute of California)

California is one of the most diverse wine regions in the world, with almost 100 grape varieties grown in almost 10 viticultural areas, including dozens of ­different microclimates and soil types, as well as a very individualistic set of ­winemakers, many with international experience, which adds to and deepens that diversity.
