Not quite sure what's going on for the tasting notes of this wine, but I am here to help correct this a little. This wine is horrible. My wife and myself are avid wine drinkers, while my inlaws are very introductory wine folk. As it turns out, even my cheap inlaws had no problem dumping this wine out, and I can assure everyone that the bottle had not gone bad, it was just a pathetic attempt at wine making. American Zin's in the 90 range are comparable to that offered by caymus. Anyone reading these forums looking for the next great inexpensive bottle should ignore almost every post below mine as I promise you the best part of this bottle was the 20 seconds of watching it flush down the drain.
PS after this train wreck we opened a 2011 St. Michelle Syrah, which was delightful and confirmed our assumptions about this NV Zin.

Solid for the price, some light jammy notes and mild spice. Good mid-week zin.

A bit tanic on front end. Needed to open up. Got smoother as time went by, despite being quite fruity. Not the worst Zin.

Great drink for the price. Go to Zin when I want something tasty without breaking the bank. Your friends will think you paid a whole lot more.
