From Magnum. Ruby in color, opaque and flat. The nose is dusty with cedar and black cherries. On the palate, this is older and starting to get tired. There is a tart acidity. Black cherry fruit and slight dried cherries. Not sure what this was like in its youth but now it is more claret in style. Drinking well right now with fruit and complexity. That said, drink up as this will start to slide soon. Works with a wide variety of foods.
Purple in color. Clear and bright. The nose is nice with dusty black cherries and slight volatile acidity. On the palate, this is slightly sweet with slight tannins. Ripe black cherry fruit. Really delicious and drinking quite well right now. Just getting to a mature claret style zinfandel. Easily has a decade more of good drinking. Food friendly.
This is always a go to value wine. Amazing? No. But solid, dependable and tasty. Purple/Ruby in color, mostly clear and bright. The nose is nice with cherries, some black cherries, slight cedar and vanilla. Medium bodied. On the palate, cherries with a peppery note. Moderate finish. This is easy drinking with no edges. It works nicely on its own and would work well with burgers off the grill. Drink over the next three to five years.
