Sound cork. Clear and surprisingly transparent red--would have guessed Barolo or Pinot Noir. A bit of chemical on the nose initially. Flavors deliver fairly round fruit back up by a vibrant texture. Nice bottle.

Rich, aromatic, good structure, long finish. Unless the previous posts aren't from California Zin fans, I find the low ratings baffling. At $28, it's not the best QPR I've had recently in a Zin, but it's absolutely satisfying for the price.

Did not really care for this one, not Zin like at all. Very mild, very light tannins, more fruity but not much of that either. One taster said there was a bad after taste. Not everyone agreed but all agreed to pass on this bottle. Also tried a little thru a Vinturi which just made things worse.

Not a classic Zin. No spice.

Spicey yet subdued Zin. Not over the top with brambly fuits. A little pricey for the quality.
