Zinny says this tastes like me! Fruit fruit fruit. Nothing but Zin fruit. But not too jammy. Smooth, balanced. Not complex. Should probably be chilled a bit. The ultimate early summer burgers-on-the-grill wine. (Wish I actually HAD grilled some burgers for this.)

Cheaper to get a half bottle, so I did. Pairs well with steak. Smooth. Light. "You are what you drink!"

Berry notes with a vanilla oak finish. Lighter than a typical zin. Reminds me of a spiced Pinot noir. Yummy. Would purchase again. Nice price point!

Needs air. Young, sharp, but opens to mild oak and smoke. Not huge, but decently balanced and full.
