A fun, fruity zin with great jammy flavor. The finish is silky. A bit lighter than I prefer, but very acceptable based on price.

Following advice from other reviewers, I agree this is better slightly chilled. Leather and red berries on the nose and palate. Pepper on the end - much more after chilling slightly than at room temp. Light mouthfeel and medium/low tannins. Not as complex as many great OVZs. Imminently drinkable. Unremarkable accompanying tomato-based pasta, and it didn’t hold up to a flavorful cheese course either. Okay, but not great.
