Review: 

I bought this wine the same day as my other wine review for this week, and I purposely bought some cheap wine since I am currently a broke college kid.  This being said, I could not find a wine review of this wine either, but I found the bottle on the Kroger website.  It says that this wine is "full of flavor, refreshing, and fruit-forward".

Wine Folly:

The wine folly book also uses the term "fruit-forward" (pg. 189) when referring to zinfandels.  Zinfandels are ideal with Turkish or Middle Eastern cuisine.  There are a lot of zinfandels in California (pg. 190) which makes sense because that is where this wine is from.  

My Review:

I liked this wine better than the other one my boyfriend and I tried together.  It was fruity and tasted kind of like watermelon/tangerine.  I could not place my finger on it, but I agree with the internet that it was indeed refreshing.  My boyfriend and I also made pad thai, and I thought it paired well with this wine.
