"2002 Rocking Horse Zinfandel, 65% Napa Valley, 35% Sonoma Here is the second of three offerings from this winery currently featured at Trader Joe’s. This zin jumps out of the glass with a big blast of oak, peppery Zinfandel spice, and superripe, autumn blackberries. There’s more oak in the mouth, a sense of heat, and ripe, spicy, brambly blackberry curd. The combination of heat, ripe fruit and spice reminds me of a rough-hewn ruby port. This wine is a bit over the top — check that — way over the top, but it’s also a whole lot of wine for the money, so try a bottle if you like this style. Price: $7.99 Score: 150%"

Welcome Value Winos
Talk about it long enough, it will eventually become real. This is my Tumblr blog of all things about value wine drinking, and value and cost savings in general. Welcome, and let’s see what I can find and talk to us about regarding wine values.
