From a 375ml. Interesting nose, decent. Taste was a little Kool-ade like, but not bad. Good value zin. Plenty of other value Zins to recomend before this one though. Nothing really to write home about. Found a bottle weeks after with a rubber cork in it. Had a whiff out of curiousity. Raisins. Raisins, Raisins.

Opened this, my last bottle from several bought on sale, to braise short ribs in, thinking "good riddance." Upon pouring the remainder in the glass though I found it to be perhaps the best of the bottles I've had, reminding me to an extent why I thought this was worth stocking up on. Not complex or life-changing by any means, but a good quaffable zin at a wonderful price point that hit the spot on a stressful afternoon. Not bad for $7

Average zin, no flaws, not deeply extracted. Quaffble and non-offensive.

Great value wine. Slight Pepper. Not the Jammy-type more typical of this region, but an excellent price point.
