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

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
One of the best Malbec in this price range. — 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
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 — 4 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
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
Smooth. Oakey and kind of a cheesy finish. — 4 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
Love this wine and at $8-$12 for a price point, it's pretty awesome! — 8 years ago

Great nose. Good color. Nice peppery finnish. Smooth drinking. Tannins and acid are well balanced. Nice lingering finish. Fruits are mu
ddled. Lots of fruit with cherry dominant but nothing else really stands out. A fine example of Klinker Brick wine. You won't be disappointed in this wine. — 4 years ago
