Wonderful dinner wine as will not overpower the food. Solid structure but not too dry.

Dark garnet, initial bitter but opened up well and even better on day 2

Very good zin with strong finish, enjoyed with a Mediterranean meal of hummus, hearty fish and baklava

Even better than my first bottles in 2012, now is the right time to drink and best with a good meal as it does not overpower the food

Sweet with just a bit of dry after on the tongue, somewhat bitter

Poor taste perhaps bad bottle

Smooth and deep taste. Paired with lasagna at Disney for dinner. Will buy for home cellar. Recommend as a dinner Zin.

Loved it. Smooth and great for summer evening on the deck.

Sweet and smooth over the palate, great with a heavy holiday dessert.

Solid, full fruit and tannin, fully expect to enjoy this with a hearty steak in the future.

Balance but dry, tight mouthfeel. Standard blend of the region, good dinner at home wine.

Aromatic and expected sweetness but had a more dry feel and a bit of a throat burn.

Very light, smooth feel. Paired very well with grilled yellowfin.

Great fruit but also with body for a Pinot noir

Smooth from engagement to finish

Beautiful dark black cherry color is not matched by the bitter taste over the tongue. Better after a day of being open but still not recommended at this price point $17-19.

Smooth, not overly fruity, better on day two after having time to breath

Wonderful floral nose. Smooth and sweet. Great for the holidays.

Smooth mouth filling feeling with a light fruit on the back. A bit of a post drink burn in on the tannin. Excellent choice for a hearty meal.

Light taste with crisp finish. Hints of cherry liqueur over the tongue.

Loved this as part of a steak dinner. Went well across all the courses.

Lighter initial nose than expected. Little to no tannins with a light finish. Good pairing with Cajun ribeye.

Disappointed as all previous bottles from this brand have been bold and good. Found this one thin and no real strong notes.

Light fruit, a little bitterness, good for a dinner wine

Good first taste and flow. Deep flavor and smooth aftertaste.

Not impressive. Relatively light on the first drink and put it down for two hours. After a few hours it was drinkable but subpar. Dumped the rest.

Very smooth, light fruit on the nose

Agreed on the old cigar smell and I drinkable. A sip or two and poured it out.
