Traditional Zin body with bright berries. Bright red color. Semi sweet. Aroma boasts vanilla and wood. Easy to drink crowd pleaser. WBA

Thought this was alright at first then it got a little worse. Not a bad wine, just nothing special. Probably wouldn't do again, they make other much better wines

One of my favorites because it combines a sweet start with hints of berries, wood, and chocolate. Acidic but not enough to turn off. Excellent with smoky cheese.

Great jammy cherry Zin. My wife loves her Zins, and this one is no exception. This is nice and solid. We are pairing with bacon cheeseburgers. As a lover of US history, I love the label!

A very nice Zin. Dry creek valley. Bold purple fruit but balanced with nice tannins.

Received this as a gift. Was pleasantly surprised at the balanced lush berry flavor.
