Medium to dark violet in color, this wine showed tons of ripe cranberry, blackberry and raspberry fruit on the nose. The mouth feel brought sweet, juicy jammy fruit, red currant and some peppery/spicey elements. The finish was medium and the 15.0% alcohol was held in check.
Surprisingly, on day two, the remaining glass and a half showed that the juicy fruits had given way to the alcohol and the remaining amount turned into a hot, not as pleasant drink.
At $20US, this was a decent value but one I'd make sure was all drank on day one.

Ruby color. Rasberry nose. Medium-full body. Black cherry and loads of spice on the finish.

Nice Zinfandel. Not awesome but has a good smooth flavor, particularly for the price.

Taste of pepper, some kind of spice, blackberry, plum, and light cherry. Light legs and can't quite grab the nose. Long lasting taste.
