Canyon Oaks Zinfandel (California)

Price - $3.99 Size - 750 mL - Health Benefits of Wine Tasting held on Saturday April 30, 2005 at the Powers Liquor Mart in Colorado Springs.

We tasted this one blind, didn't know the price or the name, it proved to be the best buy of the group. The nose on this wine was very juicy. The flavor is fruity, a little earthy and contains light berries such as raspberries. Impressions, good wine, drinkable and approachable, 13.5% alcohol. This proves you don't always have to pay a lot of money to get a good wine. Grade: B
