California
2008
45% Zinfandel, 25% Petite Sirah, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Syrah, 2%
Cabernet Franc, and 2% Sangiovese. This wine is a beautiful, deep red with
layers upon layers of flavors. A great mix and a good wine for a cheap
price.
Colin: It tastes like all my favorite aspects of the wines that were
used. It makes the experience well rounded. By itself, it was perfectly
dry and the finish was great. However, pairing it with red meat or
hearty foods brings out the punch and taste. I would recommend this to
anyone that likes a hearty red.
Rating: 8 out of 10
Rachel: This wine has a dark, woody smell with some black pepper notes. But it is very bold and fruity in flavor. You can almost taste each of the grapes' contribution to this wine. Hints of vanilla with oak, deep raspberries, it is a great wine with an easy finish. This is definitely a good red for anyone, but especially people that aren't too fond of reds. Since it is still bold, but has almost no sourness to it, it's a great red for white lovers. At least, in my opinion.

Aerate: No
Cost: $6.99 at Trader Joe's. Have not been able to locate it anywhere else on the web - so this is a good one to pick up if you see it in store.
