Smooth, with the typical peppery bite of the variety. Deep dark red color, and quite dry. Full body and long flavor ... outstanding. From the introductory First Leaf case. 22 January 2021 — 5 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. — 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

Clear deep ruby red wine, with a clean medium intensities of dried clack fruit and spices in the nose. A dry wine with low acidity, medium tannins and body with hints of dark fruit, especially black cherries, anise herbal flavors and MSU grooms with a long finish. Outstanding red blend that went well with Greek ground beef kebobs. — 8 years ago

Barnyard nose, with very little fruit. Flavor bomb! Luscious red cherry, cedar, spicy, super smooth, and not a hint of tannins. Amazing for 10 bucks. — 5 years ago

Great value. Jammy with undertones of smokiness. Goes well with winter stews and summer grilling — 6 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

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

Seventy-five plus year vines make me happy. Plenty of acidity balanced by lean, yet round, tannins. Savory raspberries and cherries with rhubarb and a little bay leaf. Yum! — 5 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
