Too good to pass up...I'm in.

The wine has a healthy magenta hue; aromas of a peppery, cherry pie (cue Warrant on the juke box) with a faint herbal note. On the palate, sweet plums, a little pepper, and cinnamon. Initial heat blows off after a few minutes, and you're left with a mild-mannered, lighter-than-some Zinfandel.

Not a big, jammy fruit bomb. Rather, a light, Tuesday night drinker. Or Monday afternoon at the office (if WineDavid is your boss).

Oh, man- you are so fortunate to have to taste and comment!!!

I would be in for one, as I love zins. But I will not be home to receive shipment in 3 weeks. Alas!

She's bouncing!

You are wise!!!

Nothing like a bouncing enormously large gold button to motivate a purchase.

I am hesitant to find out what mine would do!!!!!

I also hesitate as I like big, bold heavy zins like Rosenblums.

I do agree with the earlier comment about a slight effervescence which aerating and a small amount of time eliminates. The previous zin was very fruit forward and enjoyable to drink right away. Suffice it to say I have none left and gladly went in for this offering.

That's enough for me. In for another half-case of Sextant.

Last wooter to woot: Unclesally
Have to stock up before summer heat.

Last wooter to woot: publicart

Finally, it's my time to shine. 3rd wine purchase on wine.woot. Those little $5 coupons are working. Curse you jumbo woot!

GREAT QPR!!! I'm so glad I got a half case before it sold out!

Mine is on the way! Thanks for review! I had a feeling that at less than $11 a bottle it would be a 'good' - week night choice!

ORDER 37507882. Hello Woot Rep, when will a tracking # be posted for the sextant wines? Why the delay? Funds hit the credit card, ship it...

Wines don't ship from Woot...they ship from the winery. It takes a bit. But it's worth the wait. Patience...

Mine arrived yesterday. Apparently the dog signed for it.
Good to be friendly with your FedEx guy.

I finished my first glass and I'm in love. Smooth, great legs, and lovely aromas. Hope my husband doesn't get jealous

The wine is nice, but is anyone else seeing an abnormally high about of sediment/cork/debris? in their wine?

This wine is obviously unfiltered. I don't find the amount of sentiment unusual. A while back I had a Wellington Zin that had enough sediment to fill about one half the neck of the bottle. I considered that a lot of sediment.

BTW this is a very nice wine.
