About the Wine: Just about every maker is coming out with a red blend these days. Zinfandel-based blends are especially popular. Zinfandel by itself can be a difficult drink. It is often jammy, heavy, and has very little consistency from one vineyard to the next. Blends are a good way to tame it into something more accessible.
About THIS Wine: The center is nearly opaque with a garnet rim. The nose has a sweet coffee smell that I have only ever found in Zinfandels and Zinfandel-based wines. Red fruit is also prominent on the nose. The palate is heavy with strawberry, cherry, and licorice. The sweet red continues and blends with mild spice on the finish.
Drinking This Wine: A pleasant sipping wine, it would also go well with a cheeseburger.
Overall Impression: I really do like this wine, but I also really like paying with a twenty and getting change back. It is fair for the price, but not exceptional.
