I picked up a bottle of this stuff ($13) last night. Happened to run across it in the store and remembered all the glowing posts. Took it home and popped it to ward off the cold and the wet. Was prepared to like it a lot, but ended up with only a "pretty good" response. There was a lot of chocolate on the nose and the palate. That was interesting--never had a zin quite like that before. But to my taste there was some fruit missing and the alcohol (14%) was too much in evidence, leaving me unhappy with the finish. Anyone else have this response? Could I have had a bad bottle?
