Note: I publish batches of reviews that I call Good Values Wine Picks. These are from the regular section of the liquor store rather than the Vintages section, and tend to be lower priced and the most widely available of all wines. The last four reviews I did were: March 7, January 4, December 16 and November 20.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

Joe Hache rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review: I was told it couldn't be done ... a good Zinfandel under $10 ... I guess I got lucky and found a good one ... we've got a winner here! I found this tasty treat fighting the Christmas crowds at the LCBO ... and I think everyone was doing the same as I was as most of the wines priced under $10 were out of stock. But they all missed this one! I can see why Zinfandel lovers are so passionate about their wine ... the primitivo grape serves up a rich and full bodied wine a fruity aroma that is quite pleasant to the nose. The most dominant flavor was blackberry and we confirmed this as we had some blackberries to taste while sipping the wine. A Zinfandel under $10 that fulfilled expectations ... this wine will definitely be part of my wine cellar ... unless everyone else discovers this gem!
