Low in price, high in quantity, low in quality. Dry and tannic with an off taste, the wine doesn’t get better with time. ——V.B.(11/1/2011)—— 80

This everyday Zinfandel is dry and spicy, with wild berry, tobacco, pepper and teriaki beef flavors. At this price, buy it by the case for barbecue parties.——S.H.(11/1/2009)—— 84

Here’s a solid everyday Zin, lusty and rustic, offering up a big gulp of fruity flavor. Blackberries, cherries, mulberries, root beer, licorice, and just about every spice you can name shows up. It’s a dry, tannic wine that will love rich, fatty meats and cheeses.——S.H.(4/1/2008)—— 85
