  December 4, 2017 - IMHO there are better Zins at this price point. Maybe I held it too long, as i found it lacking in the boldness of typical Zin flavor & a very short finish. I was best on day two. Color was a nice deep purple.

  September 8, 2017 - Spice, cherry aromas, big and full. Nice balance of cherry and warmth on the pallet. Tasty, perfect with a Bettega pizza from Skipolini's in

  December 10, 2016 - Taste Our Top Staff Favorites (San Diego Wine Co.): 93% Zin & 7% Alicante Bouschet; 14.5% ABV, 0.5% R.S., 6.2 g/l T.A., & 3.57 pH; 4,300 cs
  
  N: Fragrantly jammy (lingonberries?)
  
  P: Med, poss MF, body; Almost swtish frt met by some mid-P structure; LONG, spicy, VERY slightly astringent finish. Should be fine now with food, but could well improve into late Spring '18. NICE QPR @ this vendor's $13.99, which doesn't seem to be available ANYWHERE as of mid-July 2018. 92 pts & "Editors' Choice" from WE @ $20.
