From reading other tasting notes on CT, apparently you either like this wine or you don't. I do. It has a sweet side, and fruity, but overall well made and balanced. It stops short of being jammy. (Doris: Yes)
Alcoholic fruit punch. Unbalanced, sweet. Seems to be made for the White Zinfandel masses. My assessment does not agree with other CT notes, so I'm not sure if I just tasted a bad bottle?
