  Lugn och mjuk, härlig enkel zinfandel. Doft av mörka bär, långt slut för då ungt vin.

  Translucent cherry red color. Surprisingly flat and unexpressive nose with just very light and vague dark fruit aromas. The wine is full-bodied, rich and quite hot on the palate with low acidity, flabby mouthfeel and rather sweet flavors of cherry jam, peppery spice, some toasty oak and a hint of plums. The finish is rich, how and somewhat sweet with quite long flavors of peppery spice, jammy dark berries, some plummy fruits and a hint of vanilla.
  
  Meh. Soft, sweet and hot. So very typical of inexpensive Zinfandel. Dull, boring and uninspiring. Although this is miles away from the worst offenders in this style, I still can't really recommend.

  Poor. Very jammy and no complexity. Avoid if you can.
