Definitely old color-wise. Brick-orange. Aroma is old bricks and books. Also has a citrus/orange vibe. Flavors are strange and hint funky. Plenty of acid. Still zippy. Complexity has stuck around. The basic background is excellent. A classic aged wine with the strange background of a classic. This has the ghost of Zin in it. Herbal minty side. Not really Zin of today, but strange and fun to try all these years later. A unique wine drinking experience. Held up in a strange and fun way. — 2 days ago

Distinctive basic label. Dark as boar blood. Smells like ink, grass, and moss. Very non-fruit driven nose. Flavors however are ripe and full fruit. Like a blackberry pie or black cherry candy with just a hint of smoke. Earth-i-ness goes away on the tongue. Slight licorice root or anise streak. It’s missing the funk, but it’s pretty good for a basic and cheap Syrah. — 10 days ago

Cool classic label. Lovely color. Still pretty ruby-maroon red. Smells like berry teas and jam on toast. Flavors are extraordinary. Berry and roses. Mineral water. Leather. Horehound. Bitter and inky. Wine-y wine. French Bordeaux at its best. — 7 days ago

sort of a critter label with a ram silhouette. Lovely beet juice color. Aroma is tart red berries and a quince jam. Flavors are very earthy and strange. More beets, some cherry cola, a hint of mint. Body is unique. Almost oily. Thick. Tannins are high, but well integrated. Slightest of sauna vibes. Think hot rocks and wet rocks. This is a strange, very old world wine. More on the savory side with just enough fruit seeping through. — 8 days ago

Lighter color. Almost a dark Rosé. And clear bottle for red is unique. Smells a bit like rosehip tea (Red Zinger). Also flowers. Lilacs and other sweet stuff. Iris perhaps. Flavors are easy and fairly fruit juice like. Pomegranate and pineapple juice. Without the sugar. It’s a strange wine. Not exactly sure what it reminds me of. Almost a spritzer. A champagne spritzer. For sure a warm weather one. Spring evening wine. — 13 days ago

Simple and elegant label. Good color. Deeper maroon than the Zin can be. Smell of incense and fancy hand soaps. Not much jam on the nose. Flavors are complex and fun. Earthy and herbal for Zin. Minerality in this. Tastes like rocks smell. ABV is 14.4%, but it’s not fruit driven. It’s even a bit funky. Streak of acids. This has some nice things going on. Balance is great. Restrained and food friendly for Zin. Great deal at grocery outlet. — 8 days ago

Critter label. With cool fish on it. Color of golden straw. Hints of wet rocks on the nose. Bit of lemon water too. Flavors are fabulous. Crisp yet complex. Has a minerality and roundness to it. Green fresh Italian herbs like oregano and basil. This is a very pleasing white. Hints of Chardonnay, but with enough acid zip to make it special. — 10 days ago
