| Tasted by bjsteven on 1/18/2010 & rated 84 points: Dark fruit on nose, med tannins, med finish (191 views) | |
| Tasted by ytg on 6/28/2009 & rated 85 points: (807 views) | |
| Tasted by joshwoodward on 6/13/2009 & rated 85 points: Wine Club @ Maisha's (Bowling Green, OH): A perfectly serviceable quaffer - tasty with no rough edges. (1152 views) | |
| Tasted by midai on 5/8/2009 & rated 85 points: nice wine value similar to the Coppola Rosso. I have more expensive wine that does not drink as smooth. (1286 views) | |
| Tasted by dcclimb on 4/25/2009 & rated 84 points: Pleasant jammy concoction. Drank better than the last couple bottles. Clearly better by itself than with food. Nothing too complex but fairly enjoyable. (1358 views) | |
| Tasted by gjkrmk on 1/31/2009 & rated 84 points: Really good for the price. New World fruit forward and slightly sweet. A simple monotonic quaffing wine good by itself. Paired it with a rice, black bean, guacamole & salsa dish. The salsa was a peach based salsa for an interesting sweet and hot experience which was nicely complimented by the wine. Rikki loves this wine. I am sure she would rate it very good. (1608 views) | |
| Tasted by SteveC on 12/31/2008 & rated 86 points: Dark cherry on the nose with hugh cherry and dark chocolate on the palate. Nice medium finish. For a $7.50 wine this is well worth it. (1528 views) | |
| Tasted by cabdrinker on 12/30/2008 & rated 82 points: Jammy and highly manipulated fruit here. Big carmel on the nose along with 70's Hugh Hefner pipe smoke on the nose. Creamy texture and the carmel really stands out along with the bing cherry acidity. Not very complex, but an average easy drinker if in the mood. (1745 views) | |
| Tasted by ytg on 12/30/2008 & rated 82 points: (1236 views) | |
| Tasted by DOF on 12/24/2008 & rated 88 points: My wife's favorite "drink by itself" wine. Nice flavors, but not enough to stand up to any sort of substantial food pairing. (1755 views) | |
| Tasted by wicozani on 12/21/2008 & rated 87 points: Once again simply solid! (1807 views) | |
| Tasted by annerk on 12/13/2008 & rated 84 points: Much better than expected, although on the sweet side. Not much on the nose. Jammy with notes of cassis, black cherry, bacon fat, and some spice. Creamy finish with mild tannins. Great QPR, would buy again. (Decanting not neccessary although it couldn't hurt.) (1805 views) | |
| Tasted by wicozani on 12/11/2008 & rated 88 points: Best showing yet for this wonderful, inexpensive zinfandel, cabernet, and merlot blend! Was medium-bodied with noticeable, integrated tannins and a good helping of spice. Was again an excellent match for spicy rigatoni and Italian sausage. Will look to buy more when again goes on sale for about $6.00. (1826 views) | |
| Tasted by WineGym on 12/11/2008 & rated 92 points: (1243 views) | |
| Tasted by vbprog on 11/29/2008 & rated 96 points: See previous notes (1924 views) | |
| Tasted by Cassel on 11/7/2008 & rated 88 points: Dark, spicy, good fruit, had an 07 look for more 06. (1915 views) | |
| Tasted by 914 wine on 11/2/2008 & rated 79 points: Fruity & chewy. All that consumed enjoyed and commented how good it was for the late afternoon. Not extravagant but get what you pay for and name and mix grape varietal. (1940 views) | |
| Tasted by icury on 10/22/2008 & rated 65 points: Plonk (1882 views) | |
| Tasted by chateaumiller on 10/20/2008 & rated 79 points: AVERAGE The nose is suprisingly hot for this 13.5% EtOH blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Carmel is the best aroma in the glass. The palate is sweet with nicely integrated tannins and some spice but that about sums it up. Under it all is grape soda, minus the bubbles, with a short finish.

| Tasted by dnaknc on 10/20/2008 & rated 88 points: Good fruit....good wine for the $$ (2037 views) | |
| Tasted by TimBoDo on 10/14/2008 & rated 78 points: On the nose, you might as well be smelling a jar of fruit preserves - strawberry and blueberry to us. The nose showed some promise but on the palate there was just too much syrupy sweetness for me. Not much finish beyond the sweetness. Like a starburst candy - not for me, even at this price point. Maybe would buy for non wine-drinking guests; obviously some people like it. (2076 views) | |
| Tasted by Serge Birbrair on 10/11/2008: Guest brought it to the house and guests finished it, I just couldn't force myself. Sweet plonk. (1809 views) | |
| Tasted by RutherfordDust on 10/10/2008 & rated 87 points: (1394 views) | |
| Tasted by bcahill on 10/9/2008 & rated 83 points: Consumed over three nights. Decent, straight forward Cab blend with typical California fruit. Would purchase again to have on hand for informal gatherings. (2100 views) | |
| Tasted by larry001 on 10/3/2008 & rated 88 points: Good bottle for the price. Deep with a little spice. Somewhat of a sharp edge at first but open up nice. (1988 views) | |
