This is a unique Zin that has actually held up with the age. It’s a smooth criminal of sorts. Likable and easier to quaff than the complex Zins they also produce. Nice stuff. — 17 days ago
Modern art label is alright. Reminds me of my grandparents art style. Nice color. Black cherry juice hue. Aroma is earthy and jammy. Fairly classic Zin, but with a hot sauna and rocks thing. Flavors are nice. Streak of flintiness to go with the fruit. Plenty of acidic zip. This is a good food wine. Friends with tomatoes and olives, cheeses and basil. Winner of supermarket wine. — a month ago
AI baseball image in the label. All-American boy for sure. Color is purple and a bit muddy. Smells like grape juice and wood sauna. Flavors are decent. Red and black berries with a hint of earthy vegetable soup or maybe mulling spices. This is strange red. Not cut from the standard CA red blend cloth, but lacking elegance and old world manners. I’ll try another bottle and see if I can catch anything more. Like the fly ball the baseball hitter on the label hit… — a day ago
Cool label. Planetary. Deep color. Maroon. Smells a bit earthy with a berry undertone. Flavors are decent. Smooth and easy to drink. Plums. Bit of bite on the end. This isn’t fruit bombed and overdone as many Arg Malbecs can be. It’s a good everyday drinker. Pleasing, but not very dynamic. — 21 days ago
Decent label, but kinda cheesy. Light and bright color. Smells ripe and fruity. Flavors are gummy fruits and cherry jolly ranchers. Hint of rhubarb pie. This is unique, but not very complex. — a month ago
Label is classy. Color is deep and dark. Aroma is berry molasses and leather. Flavors are good. Classic Cab. Blackberry and mocha. Balance is decent. A simple sipper with some zip. — 10 days ago
This is an on point Rhone red. Lighter and lightly smokey as the French Grenache tends toward. It’s good food wine. Hint of olives. — 16 days ago
First time I’ve seen this variety outside of Chile. Color of the inside of a dead ripe Santa Rosa plum. Aroma is savory and earthy. Olives and Asian plum sauce. Just a bit of blackberry cobbler. Flavors are nice. Mulberry and cherry but with a hint of licorice and tobacco. Hint oily? Thick feel. Fig too. This is nice. More complex and savory than most of the Chilean versions I know. A unique and intriguing red. Glad I got a bottle all the way down in CA at Grocery Outlet. Hope to visit the winery in Yakima someday. — 24 days ago

This is the Shiraz version of this. Lovely seascape art on the label. Plummy color. Silky. Aroma is ripe and fruity. Cherry-Coke. Sarsaparilla candy. Flavors aren’t half bad. Plenty of fruit jams and jellies, but restrained and silky smooth. This is classic OZ airplane wine. Appeals to many. Offends few. Just a bit stripped down and meh. It’s well worth the $5 I paid for it at Grocery Outlet. — a day ago
