Today's an $8 dollar bottle of Zin with a screw top for easy access kinda day

This wine is actually super easy to drink and is going to get me in trouble. It's not very bold on the back end but is pretty juicy up front.

Haven't had a zin in a while. Light & jammy & wayyy sugary. Just a meh 7 pts for the wine but 10 pts for the name - I'm always a fan of a good pun! :)

Meh. Zin on the lighter side with a prominent flavors of berry and spice (?) Enjoyable wine, nice value for the price.

Meh. Not bad, not great either. Didn't pack the punch I'm looking for in a zin, but someone who enjoys a lighter wine would probably like it.

An easy drinker for a day that has just gone asunder. Screw cap make it easy access. Medium bodied for a zin , with less pronounced spicy notes. 13.5 abv make it a little lighter then most Cali zins but still a decent quaff
