For $10 what do you expect??? Not a great wine, but more than just "drinkable". Fruity notes, decent finish. It's probably going to beat many wines at Applebees.

Very ordinary at best. On the lighter purple side, nothing outstanding on the smell or taste. Not much finish if any, a bit bitter on the taste. There are much better wines available at this price point.

Shows subtle aromas of berries, cassis, vanilla and earth on the nose. Medium-to-full bodied, offering a nicely balanced combination of cherry, chocolate and spice flavors. Fine-grained tannins lead to a satisfying finish that is just a bit oaky. Not particularly rich or complex, this is still a pretty respectable Sonoma Zinfandel blend - especially so at only $8.99. 50+5+11+14+7=87

No formal notes, but seems like it may be a bit past its prime; was ambivalent about finishing it. 81--83 pts. (No notes from a bottle ~10 months ago, but I recall thinking of that as 86--88 pts. and, at the least, surprisingly good for the price point.)

Good everyday wine after it aged a while.
