This wine is incredible! I can't think of a better Thanksgiving wine than this one. With a bit of Zinfandel in the mix and lush cranberry flavors, what could be more perfect for Turkey Day? And with only 13.5% alcohol there's no heat that you might get from an overpowering Zin. Tremendous value in this fruity, well-balanced, almost elegant California blend. At $10 a bottle that's only a $1 a mile for this surprising find!
