Alas, a final hurrah in which to say, “Fare thee well, Del Frisco’s Grille!”
.
As for the wine itself, really delicious and seductively powerful with loads of potential for the coming years. A bit more feminine than the To Kalon, the MH has some finesse and sensual elegance that makes it less of a Lamborghini and more of a Ferrari. Lots of licorice, plum, blackberry, and cassis. I had the waitress pop the cork and pour me a glass for my steak, but I stopped at one glass. I’ll be taking this selection home to see how it evolves over the next day (or two).

EDIT: Day two and this wine is on fire 🔥So delicious. Much more balanced; it’s like it knows its own identity now. — 7 years ago

Great value at $25. Well balanced. Jammy but not overly so. Dark fruits with creamy chocolate aromas. More dark fruits, chocolate, oak, and a touch of spice. Smooth finish. Pnp. — 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 — 9 years ago

Thick with substantial tannins. Lots of flavor and modest fruit. Dark color and a good finish. Good with anise scented smoked pork ribs. — 9 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 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. — 8 years ago

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 — 8 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 — 10 years ago

Low alcohol (for Chile) at 13.2%. Natural touches with an earthy, bretty edge but very pure juicy red fruit; raspberry, cherries & strawberries. Almost Garnacha-like with an edge of white pepper too. Fun! — 11 years ago

Velvety smooth, stone fruit and hint of fig. This Zin could age more time, but it’s a solid one I’d get again. — 7 years ago

Excellent typical example of good Aussie Grenache. First impression is 'red Clare Riesling'. Clean with ripe red fruit (strawberry fruit roll-out). White pepper with a little heart. Best with a little chill. #blindtasting #australianwinetasting #yangarra #Grenache — 7 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! — 8 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
