| | Tasted by kmccarty006 on 12/13/2017 & rated 80 points: Was hoping for something a little more. Just wasn't that good. Maybe past its prime? (3001 views) |
| | Tasted by Mackall817 on 11/24/2015 & rated 84 points: For the price, this wasn't a bad wine. It just wasn't anything special. It is the Mookie Wilson of wines--about as average as average can be. At first, it hits the palate pleasantly, and then disappears. Zero linger or after taste. For a Zin blend, that wasn't what we were looking for. Something I might serve at a large gathering where wine and beer is served; definitely NOT a nice dinner wine.
The wine looks purple colored. The legs are fast. There is no sediment in the bottle. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has medium acidity. Ho Hum. (7924 views) |

| | Tasted by ghogg on 11/30/2013 & rated 83 points: - Crimsom color and aromas of black currant, cherry and coffee. It's unbalanced and has flavours of black currant, cherry and coffee with a medium/full body. Round texture with a medium finish - Not a bad wine if you like very fruity and slightly sweet, it's best use would be making sangria. I paired it with some sharp cheddar and enjoyed it, but rejected for my steak dinner. A low eighties wine (12613 views) |

| | Tasted by mikev101 on 8/9/2012 & rated 86 points: Nice second bottle. A bit fruity, light-medium bodied..nothing special, but not terrible (6371 views) |
| | Tasted by mhenry on 7/17/2012 & rated 79 points: Gift bottle that was probably not stored well, so had low expectations. Used in cooking pasta dish, but that may have been a mistake. Beryl said first sniff was "dirty sweat socks," but could drink if desperate. Oh well, I have a cold and can't taste anything anyway. Toss the rest of this and open something else. (4897 views) |

| | Tasted by PimpDaddy2Kool on 4/6/2012 & rated 75 points: Had this at a neighbor's place. Disgusting. Very fake...chemical in flavor. Strictly for the Yellow Tail crowd. Why would anyone buy this plonk? (5865 views) |
| | Tasted by mazik on 4/4/2012 & rated 84 points: The zinfandel leads the merlot and cabernet, very fruit forward and spicy, nothing to write home about but a tasty glass of wine to have with pizza or spaghetti on a weeknight. (5880 views) |

| | Tasted by sshaw906 on 12/21/2011 & rated 89 points: Always a favorite for everyday drinking. Not as good as 2008 but a good red table wine. (8088 views) |
| | Tasted by bdufton on 12/19/2011 & rated 85 points: Despite the score, this wine has its place. Like right now, typing my tasting note. Perfect wine for a crowd of people with varying degrees of knowledge and experience - differing tastes. This wine should hold their attention. Loads of fruit, some sweetness, and an absence of tannin which is maybe the big drawback. Would love to hear from the sophisticated palate and the nuances but suffice it to say that its big texturally but very linear, if that makes sense. If you like chewy, you'll like this.
