  For about $12 this quite typical and very acceptable. It is clean, competent and well made, though not necessarily sharp and explosive. Decent, spicy bramble, black cherry and blackberry fruit. Vanilla and mild graphite accents to the upfront fruit. Nicely balanced with little or no residual sugar.

  House Warming Party Round 2 (St Johns, Auckland): left it in decanter for 15 min to calm down. dark garnet, inky purple hue. intense ripe dark fruits. creamy and sweet, reasonably balanced, huge weight and power, 14.5% alc, chewy tannins. heavy, enjoyable but not complex.

  As another reviewer noted this is a typical, to my taste, California Zinfandel. Very enjoyable, big on the fruit and paired well with dinner.

  This is what I think of when I think California Zin: Big and fruity with a cherry cola nose. Initially, I only got the fruit on the palate, but with the skirt steak, it calmed down quite a bit. A bit of pepper and a rather short finish prevented this from rating a few points higher. Very Good. thedrunkencyclist.com
