Seem to be in the minority here. Didn't think this wine was anything special on day 1. For about $15/bottle, I think there are several better wines that just I know about. Better on day 2 than day 1. Day 1 seemed very tight, tannic even after an hour. Fairly undeveloped and a bit thin. Day 2 was more like many of the tasting notes others have posted. Day 2 notes: Nose: Smoke, some earthy tones. Taste: a little peaty, dark, heavy berries, not terribly complex.

Emu, It was the first bottle of red that i've had that didn't need to breath once opened. Silky smooth taste. Nice lingering after taste, left me wanting more. Pleasant dark fruit aromas. Worth the purchase. Would buy it again if there were any kicking around.

Very nice value zinfandel; not overly compelx, but still good body; great red for a weekday

A bit too raisin-y for me, and I would like a little more earth. But otherwise a really nice, well balanced wine. Silky texture.

Very easy drinking. Not as opaque and heavy as most Rosemblum zins. VERY happy with this and a great value.
