Keeping an open mind, we are trying more wines outside of our usual Cabernets and Syrahs. This one is a "$4.99 for $12.99" at Gross Out, so it doesn't promise to be a screaming deal, but it does promise a change of pace.The bottle says it is from Paso Robles and not much else. 14.2% alcohol. This one has a natural cork with a cute 5 under the foil.
In the glass, the wine is a dark purple. The nose is grape and berry. Nice fruit on the palate smoothly transitioning to a strong tannin finish. The sulfide detector went off on this one (one sneeze). This wine seems very correct for a Zinfandel.
We like this 5 mile for 5 bucks bottle. This 5 mile bridge is better than the Woodbridge you can get for $5.
