Pours a bright ruby color. The nose is very fruity, with strawberry and red twizzler coming forward. Not very oaky or spicy, just a very pleasant, fruity wine. Exactly what I want from a Dry Creek zin, and for $10 I can't think of many better zins. Great QPR.

Pretty darn good QPR on this. Dusty black fruit on the nose. Nice smooth mouth feel and a solid transition with black currant and a hint of pepper. Worth the 10 spot.

small zin tasting with Mark & joe, this was clearly # 3 vs Rosenblum Rockpile rd, $30, 89, and Ridge Ponzo, $22, 88. For $10, this is very good value and worth drinking. Made by Mazzaco, which makes some very good Zin's. Can't rate it higher unless you consider value.

This is a nice zine for the money. What is better out there for $9.99? It is sourced from Mazzocca, Dry Creek Valley, which is right next door to Ridge Lyton Srings. Very fruit forward nose which follows through on the palette. Perfect Tues night cheapo Zin.

Nicely fruity, red berries, limited oak. Straightforward Zin for an excellent price.
