Had it over several days, first with a meal of Italian sausage and mushrooms with pasta. Surprisingly light and lean but with a characteristic spicy zip. A good light-bodied daily drinker without much aging potential. Drink up.

Faint aroma of cassis and berry aromas. Palate is unusually restrained for a zinfandel, with cinnamon, berry, and a bit of bramble. I really liked this wine, though it will probably leave most modern zin lovers cold. Nice fruit, modest alcohol, with good balance and structure. It has less of the classic robustness than most zin lovers (even me) are looking for, but it is a welcome change from the current monstrous norm - and it's a screaming bargain at $9.99.

Too sweet. My wife and I both agree on this one. We're going to use it for Sangria because it is not drinakable straight as a Zin.
