Pours with a slightly garnet/purple hue with aromas of nice Zin fruit with a touch of sweet spices, violets and blackberry jam.
Palate--Surprisingly "sweet" first impression but comes off with a mouth watering acidity which means really fruity because at 14.5% alcohol, this is bone dry! It's mouth watering juiciness makes it an easy quaf, even if finishing with a really quick raspberry ending.
This Zin is sourced from the Lodi (California) [AVA] vines for Sam's Club and sells for around $8. At this price point, it is a party kind of wine and will drink well all by itself or with your favorite (charcoal) BBQ'd meats.
Zinfandel is an underrated grape which makes it a great value for those of us who just flat out LOVE Zinfandel. This particular Zin is a first for me and it's a keeper so raise a glass!
