@ Arch Cape VRBO: Absolute stunner again, cheers to this team for putting out WA's best zin. This is now *the go-to* varietal for pizza pairing over merlot.

The richness, balance, clean silky mouth feel, depth of fruit and rich soil and light earthy notes...just a really great under the radar young wine. Washington is an incredibly under rated wine producing region right now in my opinion.

Deep purple with moderate extraction and heavy tearing. Rich and jammy blackberry, black plum, cherry. Exotic spices, licorice. On the palate, very rich, fruity, and earthy. Ripe fruit and fruit juice. Alcoholic heat is very present. Finish is mod+, not overly complex. Overall, very classic Zin. Jammy, alcoholic, fruity. Great with food.

OMG, anyone who says this is a "bland" Zin has no taste buds or palette. This is a Zin on steroids. Could have laid down for another 5 years in the cellar. Can't say that for many Cali-Zins that are already fading out after this amount of time. This has plenty of mouthfeel to go the distance. Serve cool so the ABV is kept in check/balance but it does get even better with 30-50mins of air time. Would buy a case if I had known it was this good. 5 Star QPR for sure. Well done Morgan Lee!
Really great wine and QPR - dark fruits, flowers, light tobacco, concentrated, full bodied, perfect drinking age, peppery fine tannin, long satisfying finish of ripe fruit and lilac and pepper. One of my favorite Zinfandel and at this price - hard to not love it. Easy buy anytime I pass through the store.

Pretty bland zin. Not at all what I look for in a Zin which is some of the turley's or sidebar. Nothing wrong but nothing interesting either I would not buy this again

Drank with friends/socially so not much thought given to notes...but this is a really great Zin that opened up nicely and got more complex throughout a couple hours. Characteristic strong deep ripe dark fruits and some floral qualities that were nice, with some earthy/tobacco developing. Will look for more. Great QPR.

Best zin in Washington, every vintage with few exceptions. They don’t produce a lot so you need to search it out. Reminds me of a California old vine zin only better. Same grapes mechanically picked are labeled under the city limits brand. No pepper finish. Very smooth. This vintage can sit for another 5 years easily but great to drink now.

Was surprised after reading the other reviews. We did not recognize it as a zin rather seemed like a generic table wine. No off smells or flavors, but nothing distinctive either. A CA zin beside it reassured us our nose and taste buds were still working.

If you want a delicious, fruit-forward but with depth and interest, this is for you. Despite its 16.5% alcohol (wowza!), this really didn't come across as boozy somehow. Boysenberry, raspberry liquor, a little underlying spice, this is all about the fruit. Drink now.

Smooth and easy to drink as with all 2V zin years since we started drinking them in 2014. If you like zin then this is your bottle!

Exact opposite experience of the prior reviewer. Had this alongside a Ridge zin, and the ridge (which I generally love) was solidly in second place.

Again, just crazy good zin from this label -- its their best wine.
Appropriately paired with spicy thai on day one, but then even better on night three with pizza.
