  2nd bottle and it was worse than the first one. This time I determined that it was flawed due to contamination. I couldn't quite tell at first because the first bottle we had wasn't really all that enjoyable so I thought it may just be the wine. The majority of this bottle went down the sink. ~ (previous bottle) This Zinfandel looked more like a Pinot Noir than most of the Pinot Noirs that I've tried lately. Although very thin, it still presented nice aromas and a decent flavor profile. It worked well enough with the meal we paired it with. Despite its shortcomings, it was not too bad for the $8.71 that I paid for it. My expectations were low to begin with, so I have little to complain about.

  Very good for an $8 bottle of wine. What you expect from Lodi at this price point as far as flavor and smell. Strong cherry presence with black pepper spice.

  Candied cherry on the nose. Light to medium body with bright red fruit, but a bit on the bright side with less fruit. Has too much alcohol for the fruit and has minimal tannins. Short finish. Decent if it was an $8 bottle of wine.
