Cursive without any cursive on the label. Darker for a Zin. Smells ok. Some cherry. Wood. Flavor is classic Lodi Zin. Jammy and very fruit driven. — 4 hours ago

Meh label design. It’s like basic man. Color of the ruby in a ring worn by a villain. Aroma has a hint of fancy smelling sawdust to go with the berry-cherry jams. Flavors are ripe and fruit forward. There is a nice tannic bite on the finish. Silky and easy drinking. Has a hint of caramel with the very ripe dark berry sauce. This is a CA cab with a decent balance. Oak flavors, but not overselling it. It’s just not very complex or funky. Straight ahead and basic like that label… — 9 days ago

This label say Sonoma. Maybe it’s Carneros Sonoma side… funny design of a plain Jane otherwise label. Pretty color. Hint of red rust on the edge of the ruby red elixir. Aroma is red berries, spice box and fancy soap. The flavors are pretty classic and elegant. Dusty Cherry. Pretty complex. Ends with a lot of linger. Bright and vibrant flavors. This is a great pick up from Grocery Outlet. Representation of Sonoma is grand. — 15 days ago

Wow elegant and excellent red blend. Has mocha and grapes with some decent structure. Flavors are dense and complex. Reminds me of the best of France. Bit of minerality too. Structure is excellent. Crisp but creamy. — a day ago

Decent label. Color is nice. Hint of rust with the ruby red. Aroma is a bit savory for Zin. Smoked meats and olives. Hint of green herbs like fennel, oregano and marjoram. Flavors are full on Zin. Plenty of juicy, jammy berries. Hints of flint. And some more meat on the grill. This is classic and classy Amador Zin. — 4 days ago

This is a Lisboa red blend. Tinta Miúdal. Trincadeiral. Castelão. Syrah. Label is meh. Color is nice. Ruby and garnet. Hint of smoke on the nose. Smoked cherry-berry sauce. Few rocks. The wine is ok. Thick. Lots of oak in the mix. Has hints of spices. Plenty of big cherry fruit. A hearty dose of tannins. It goes well with spicy burrito. Drifts towards a New World style. Not too bad, just lacks elegance. — 11 days ago

Lovely label. Pretty color. Dark and stormy. Nice nose of mint and mountain dark/black berries. Flavors are great and on point for Syrah. Meaty, licorice and dense berry meets herbal stuff. Complex and zippy. A good Syrah that will show you what CA is working with. — a day ago

Cool label. Nice white color. Shimmery. Aroma is lovely with a citrus peel and flower nose. Hint of herbs too. Flavors are excellent. Fresh fennel and a hint of smoke. Linden tea? Body is good too, mouth-filling with lots of acid bite. Hints of artemisia too. This is a very nice white. Strange, interesting and vibrant. — 7 days ago

This is The Soldiers of Fortune Merlot from Monterey, Sonoma, and San Luis Obisbo. Color is dark and stormy. Deep purple. Aromas are wine-y with some vanilla. Plenty of berry pie. Black, blue berry pie. Flavors are more ripe black and blue skinned fruits and a hint of cut cedar. Or maybe Christmas tree. Has a nice plummy side too. Smooth. Easy drinking. But not overly fruit bombed. It’s decent Merlot. The Soldiers of Fortune Cab might be a bit more interesting, but this ain’t half bad. — 13 days ago
