  I am a Lodi fan, like the jammy taste. Not jammy but little peppery which i like and finishes a little dry. My wife says she tastes the nutmeg, hmmm For the right price point 14 or so would buy.

  A very tasty QPR Zin. Drinks very nice- a little heavy on the oak (noticeable)- but good spice and fruit.
  Well done for ~$13

  Some prune going on, and a touch too Paso-like for my tastes, but overall this is a totally drinkable quaffer on the more restrained side. At $15, wouldn't buy again

  Decanted about 2 hrs. ahead. Deep ruby with a bit of orange at the edge. Nice nose of plums, cassis, graphite, with nutmeg notes, toward the cooked end of the scale. Rich yet friendly on the palate, as acids are not soft but not firm either. Flavors add in some cooked-fruit, pruney notes along with earth tones. Finishes quickly with low grip and light tannins. This is a very drinkable zin. It's friendly and a bit rich, but it doesn't demand very much. In other words, it could be just the perfect wine for tonight's dinner, if it includes sausages. Winery $17, good QPR if less.
