Every once in a while you get in a rush to pick one quickly at a store that specializes in crap beer and white zinfandel. So I made the trek to the quickie store in hopes of finding a diamond in the rough. Well it's not a diamond, but it's definitely a gem of sorts.At $10.99, this is probably the best zin I've had at this level. If you're stuck in a tight spot, look for Bogle. What I've had from them is solid, most notably the Petit Syrah and now the Old Vine Zin.
A little time in the open does this some justice. Find blackberries, black cherries, some light vanilla and the earthy notes that zins express so nicely. Ok, it's not Ridge or Turley, but at this price, it's quite nice. Need a good little zin for company, you can't go wrong here. Also a good little number for the mid week evening when you don't want to get in the cellar and hit the money bottles. No slouch here.
T-Scale 88+ Heckuva good value here. Solid zin. Getcha some, it's everywhere and it's a value.
