We bought this wine from the local supermarket with a 25% discount £12.25 instead of £15. It was simply superb and one of the best Californian wines I have ever tasted. We drank it with steak as recommended. Usually, we only drink half a bottle of wine with our meal but we savoured this wine over the course of a whole evening.
The wine was full of fruit flavour but so well balanced for tannin, acidity, sweetness and alcohol at 14.5 % not 15%. It was full-bodied and concentrated and the flavour rested on the palette. The wine was distinctive and showed Zinfandel produced wine at its best. At this price it competes with the best in the world. I highly recommend this wine and it is still on offer. Despite the lockdown British wine lovers can go down to Waitrose buy this wine and a steak and find some relief from the wretched virus.
It is not often that I agree with a supermarket's hype about a wine. In this case if you take away the hype you are left with a description of an exceptionally good wine at great value for money. You can probably buy it from their website. American readers can probably find this wine easily so it is really worth searching out as the value for money will be even greater than in the UK.

My wife is a member of the Wine Society and this is what their wine lovers have got to say about it, and I couldn't agree more.
