Tasting:

    He said: Dark garnet color. Very light fruit and alcohol aromas. Sweet, fruit taste that continues into a medium-length acidic finish. Very disappointing Zinfandel even at this low price!!!

    She said: With a cutesy name like Courtney’s Angels you should be suspicious that the name may be the best thing about the wine. With that in mind, this wine has no discernible aromas, virtually no body, and a bland taste that mercifully disappears in the short finish…this wine is a disaster unless you are just drinking if for the alcohol content which is 14.3%. Don’t bother standing in the checkout line to buy this one!
