This was purchased at Safeway as they regularly give an extra 10%, total of 20% off on 6 bottles purchased at one time. Nose of black berry, black cherry, allspice, and fresh forest floor, same on the palate, big body, tasty, mouth filling fruit, delicious with sausage and pepperoni pizza, and a long finish.

Now this is an easy-drinking zin I really enjoyed. Dark garnet. Christianson got it right: Bramble fruit that is not overdone. Also raspberry. Ripe but not cloying. Just an easy-going pasta with red sauce or pizza type of wine. And the price is right: 4-11-16-7: 88/100.

A juicy, delicious, vibrant Zinfandel. Smooth, rich, creamy mouth fell. Long finish. Delicious!

Really big and rich. Lovely nose and fairly layered palate. Silky medium body. Pleasant initially but became a fruit bomb as it warmed.

I'm the lean side of California Zinfandel with rich and jammy fruit. I have a gentle kiss of American oak and am ready to go when you are!

Bramble black fruit. Bold on the nose. Rich on the mid palate, a bit short on the finish. Not hot which is nice. Smoke and bramble black fruit.
