You say you want a RedVolution?

Bota Box 2010 California Table Red
$18.99 @ Copp's

Brian sez: I really like the Bota Box Old Vines Zinfandel. CWC bought a box for a camping trip last summer and the results were quite pleasing,  so when I saw their newest offering "RedVolution", I figured I'd give it a shot. Let's just say this is one revolution that needs to be put down. There's some fruit up front, but no finish to speak of. It reminds me of my least favorite varietal: Cheapo Pinot. Not the worst thing I've ever tasted, bit there are far better ways to spend your Cheap Wine dollar.

Julia sez: It's not my favorite.
