“The many expressions of Old Vine Zinfandel are fascinating and can complement many different meals. This version has aromas of black currant jam, black tea, tar, notes of toasted oak, and violets on the nose; the flavors are blackberry, black mission fig, and molasses on the finish. Decant and Enjoy pair with pulled BBQ pork”

Lodi
Zinfandel
The nose is bold and expressive, opening with layers of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and raspberry jam. As the wine unfolds, enticing notes of cracked black pepper, licorice, dark chocolate, and subtle baking spice emerge, adding depth and complexity.
On the palate, this Zinfandel showcases classic Lodi ripeness with juicy bramble fruit, plum preserves, boysenberry, and blueberry at the forefront. Rich, concentrated flavors are balanced by a smooth texture and vibrant acidity, while hints of cocoa, spice, and sweet oak linger through the finish. Full-bodied and fruit-driven, this wine delivers both power and elegance, capturing the warmth and character of the Lodi appellation.
