Simple, with flavors of canned apricots and peaches, with their juices. Crisp acidity provides some much-needed balance.

A sound, everyday Merlot, dry and medium-bodied, with cherry, vanilla, mint and oak flavors. It’s a bit rough in texture. Fine with burgers.

Shows jammy flavors of blackberries and cherries, lightly touched with sweet, smoky oak. It’s a bit rough in tannins, with some green notes, but at this price, a pretty good value.

There’s fruit on the nose, but it’s more sweet Hawaiian Punch than complex berry. Bright raspberry plus a vanilla extract note on the palate confirmed tasters’ initial juicy impressions. It incongruously finishes rather dry, with cedar and metal notes.

Right out of the bottle, this Zin’s bouquet is rife with tin-can and weedy-herbal aromas, plus a little pepper; once you’re on your second glass, though, those aromas burn off to reveal oaky dark fruit underneath. In the mouth, oak, metallic and sweet powder cover black berry fruit. Lean with slightly elevated acidity, it finishes with stout berry fruit doused in more tangy oak and metallic notes. Tastes more like a French Syrah than a California Zin. —D.M.
