Vicious Zin by Sobon - Red Zinfandel @@@@@ (5 corks!)


Retails: $8.99 (Total Wine)

"Hey, don't let looks or price fool you! There's a lot of heart and flavor in this little scrapper..."

These are the opening words to the commentary on the back of this red zin's bottle and I couldn't agree more! Truly, it had me at first glance. The bottle sports a comic book inspired rendering of a pit bull that immediately caught my eye. As my dog, Roxy, is demonstrating, this is one hell of a buy!

Vicious Zin disappeared faster than I could even realize. My fiance had just poured me another glass and I was shocked to see that the bottle was empty! It's a truly fantastic red zinfandel--full of flavor, not too much bite or dry aftertaste. If you like a full-bodied red, you'll be happily surprised.

Final Words: this might become a regular in my rotation :)
