Mission Codename Into the groove
ANYONE who enjoys Zinfandel even in the slightest capacity NEEDS to get your hands on this. For $15, it seems criminally undervalued. NOTHING competes at this price in the Zin realm. More jam-packed than the âTahoe Tweezerâ Phish did in 2013 - which, if you didnât know, is pretty darn tasty.
Now, the shocking truth is, we put this in the same style as a Turley or Martinelli Zin. Seriously. Crazy intense, deeply concentrated red fruit LEAPs from the glass. Straight-line performance, full throttle the entire way, and totally satisfying, with sweet red raspberry and strawberry jam, some exotic vanilla bean, a sprinkle of 5-spice, and fresh pie crust. All silky and soft and mouth-filling, BUT it has a beautiful vein of acidity too, so it does not come off all sticky and thick. Really, just a well-made, super crowd-pleaser.
After this hits your doorstep, youâll taste it and think âaw jeez, I shouldâve bought wayyyy more of that!â
Pop a few in your locker and firm up your winter stash. At this price, you can load up and share all you want with friends and family. Lock it down while itâs here.
With this one, we KNOW you will end up emailing us asking for more, and sadly we will need to say no to every one of you as deals this good just do not last.
