Nice dark fruit nose, soft tannins and dark red fruit taste. Not quite full bodied enough for me, but low acids keep a little balance. Pleasant, smooth finish with light vanilla. Great buy for 6 bucks from Trader Joe's!

A little 'thin' & light compared to many zins, especially Old Vines. Pretty good for the price point. Might not have held up so well if we had drank with food- would have with chicken or fish rather than beef.

Excellent wine for the price! I bought this for $6 at Trader Joe's and it definitely competes with 90+ point wines.
Bouquet reminds me of a Robert Mondavi Pino Noir (also a favorite of mine).
Extremely smooth. Not much body but the smoothness makes up for it.
14.5% alcohol!?!?! what more can you ask for?

Reminded me of a nice Zin with straight alcohol added. I'm sure it didn't help that I had just finished a nice pinot noir 30 minutes before.

Simple wine, but very good for the price. Nice fruit (cherry), tannin.
