I always have high hopes for Zinfandel’s. Dollar for dollar, I find that Zinfandel gives me more bang for the buck than just about any other wine. I love the fruity, spicy flavors and aromas. This particular Zinfandel, while smooth and drinkable, was a little muted. It might be OK for an inexpensive, drinkable wine for a party but this wine generally doesn’t deliver.
Bottom Line:
Cost: $6
Recommendation: Drinkable and smooth but muted for Zinfandel. There are better choices out there.
I tried the Falcon Ridge Zin and for the price really liked it. It was a bit jammier then most zins.. But great.
