Alright - so this puppy is a bit higher than my usual $10 per bottle price limit for buying wine. But it tastes like you should pay $40 for it - which, in fact, we did the other night at Jumpin' Jays. Turns out it runs you $13.99 (pre case discounts which we always take advantage of...) at the NH Liquor Store. This is one of those perfect, quintessential zins - a warm, berry-flavoured, rich mouthful, perfectly balanced between sweet and dry. There's a lightness in texture to this one as opposed to my usual staple zin, Ravenswood, that reminds me of a pinot noir. Totally worth the $14. I'd call it a perfect mouthful!
