Very nice flavor with strong fruit but not overwhelming. Little bit of spice, but fairly good balance overall slightly biased towards fruit side. Finish is medium long but not very tannic or acidic — 7 years ago
Love this wine and at $8-$12 for a price point, it's pretty awesome! — 8 years ago
Tannins tannins tannins. A hint of cocoa, almost overpowered by oak. Paired with a delicious brisket via Meadow Haven Farm. Thanks for the pairing rec @Aaron Rankin

I drank this at their open house, and at the time I thought it was one of the best 2011's we tasted. This is another example of a wine that will have the "experts" pondering the 2011 vintage. This may be similar to a 2003 for selected wineries. I'll go on the record that I like it - a lot. — 10 years ago
Full-bodied and fruit-forward without the syrupy sweetness of most inexpensive California zins. Great $11 beach wine and even better at home for $8.50 at Total Wine! — 10 years ago

Nice dark fruit with a very slight mint nose. Great brambly cherish fruit taste. Nice long finish with a bit of tannins at the end. Very nice and balanced. Having with Moroccan Spiced Spatchcock Grilled Chicken — 11 years ago

My first Zinfandel experience. Fruit forward and heady alcohol hit. Balanced tannin and acidity with just a hint of sweetness. Fun to drink! — 7 years ago
One of the best Malbec in this price range. — 8 years ago

Big chewy mouth. Berries and spice on the nose. Only a hint of oak on the palate. Lingering spice. — 9 years ago
Super-weird bottle. Mid-shoulder, crumbly cork, and the colour of freshly pressed strawberry juice - extremely pale as slightly cloudy! The immediate scent was quite off-putting but after 30 minutes it stormed back! Scents of autumn mulch, burning vine roots, sour cherries, and raspberry compote. A weird sourness and heady acidity on the front of the palette but it still keeps together well. Clearly badly kept but still really interesting to drink! A true testament to The quality of Mouton under the stewardship of the late Baron. I wonder if this is what some of the better kept bottles might be like in 100 years' time!? — 9 years ago
One of my favorites — 10 years ago

Sweet, spicy, berry nose. Velvety, spicy, peppery with a touch of hot sauce on the finish. Rawk solid! — 10 years ago
‘15 vintage great way to end our Montana ski trip! Let it breathe for an hour per suggestions. It’s a dark red/purple with deep fruits and light tannins — 6 years ago
I loved a wine, but it wasn't favored amongst other folks. Lots of vanilla and oak. Full bodied and dry. Love this! Would probably pair nicely with steak or ribs. — 7 years ago
Hint of mint on the nose. With fresh sage. Flavors are berry pies and licorice. Plenty of petite sirah and such. — 8 years ago
I drank this after using an aerator. Immediately scent of braised beef and fresh rubber on the nose. Meaty flavor on the way down. Truly is best wine under $5 at TJ's — 8 years ago
I agree with a previous review, raisin on the tongue. Smooth yet bold. Delicious. — 9 years ago
Tasty!! Sweet, very slightly dry, strong cherry notes, with a touch of cranberry, cardamom, and vanilla. The nose is extremely pleasant, full of cherry and oak. Very, very nice — 9 years ago
This is my go to red wine. Easy drinking and full of flavor — 9 years ago
Quite delicious with a spicy finish — 10 years ago
Smoke, warm red fruits, spices, powdered sugar, roasted plums. Tannins have grip but are countered by plenty of acidity and alcohol is warm but not intrusive. Exceptionally balanced and complex at a great price point. — 10 years ago
