Decent wine for the price, not too overpowering.

Very sweet at first but settled down after being open a while and the acid came out. Great Riesling for the price, would definitely buy again.

good weight and mouthfeel with smooth tannins, very easy drinking wine but a little too fruity and oaky for my taste.

Nice bottle for $10. Evolved after being open for a couple hours, somewhat vegetal immediately after opening with the fruit coming out after being open.

this went over well, still had fresh fruit, didn't show it's age and should have a couple years left. Nice fruit and not too oaky. Wish I would have bought more at this price.

great wine with cheese and crackers, acidic and fruity, this would be a great warm weather red.

Nothing too special, good wine that should be drank on a weeknight. Somethings missing to make this better, the nose was great but it lost everything when tasted.

Raisnins, Plums & Apricots all day long. First night was bitter and not appealing. Second night, good stuff. For the price would drink again.

Tastes like Welch's grape juice. No structure, way too much fruit.

I'll pick up some more of this. for $6 you can't go wrong having this around.

veggies all day long. I like that style but if you're looking for a fruit bomb stay away. For the money this is a nice wine that would go great with some beef stew.

would not buy again, it was decent but there are more enjoyable wines out there for the price.

nice everyday drinker, nothing too exceptional but a nice easy wine.

great wine for a weekday drinker. the age on the bottle really has shown itself. not losing fruit but mellowed out nicely.

hearty is the name of the game. lots of earth and veggies. i really liked this one, i think the fruit may come out a bit in the next 5 years but i'm sure glad i have 2 more of these.

meh, decent but theres others out there at the same pricepoint

3/23/2008 - minnesotamoon wrote:

This wine is big, huge. Lots of bell pepper and vegetal components. Wished I would have held on to this one for a little while longer.

This was a good zin but even after 2 hours it's still very hot. Don't know if it needs more time or just is lost in the alcohol.

nothing to write home about, fairly light, it mellowed out after a night and was nice with some lasagna.

i liked this, i think the age mellowed it a bit and it was very enjoyable. i'm sure a year ago there was more pronounced fruit but overall a nice easy wine.

nice everyday drinker, nothing too crazy but well worth the price. have had much worse at this price point. would like to see what else the label has going on.

i really liked this wine, lots of complexity, flavors of game, fruit and bacon all layered very nicely together, everyone in the group really enjoyed this wine.

12/31/2007 - minnesotamoon wrote:

way too vegetal and not in a good way. very unbalanced and not even close to a cabernet. $7 down the drain.

12/27/2007 - minnesotamoon wrote:

drank this too early but can tell its going to be a good bottle with some age.

12/27/2007 - minnesotamoon wrote:

disjointed, not mineral, not sweet, not dry, just kind of akward. possibly drank it too late.

12/23/2007 - minnesotamoon wrote:

It was drinkable and enjoyable, couldn't figure out if this could have used another year or if it was fading but it was pretty tannic even after decanting. Wish I had another bottle to try again in another year.

not showing well for me, there's a bit of earth but not much fruit to balance it out.

12/12/2007 - minnesotamoon wrote:

too thin of a chianti for me. the body wasn't there and the finish fell off way too quickly. i had high hopes as this was a good vintage but just didn't show it's stuff.

pretty good qpr, nice good fruit. drinks more like a $20 napa cab then the $13 you can pick it up for.

good pinot and i don't even really drink pinot. nice fruit, did need some decanting but went very well with turkey and everyone at the table commented on how much they liked it. good stuff.

Good vegetal aspect if you like that aspect of chilean wine, we had with bleu cheese nachos and it complemented the cheese quite well. An OK wine that doesn't break the bank.
