Our Lodi Zin explodes with blueberries, black plums, vanilla, and cocoa. Lush and mouthfilling, with incredibly silky tannins that slide into a long, flavorful finish. Uncork now for a tempting taste, or cellar for up to 10 years of flavor development.


My Review:
The aroma of this wine was very potent and filled with plum, currants, and raspberries. The palate was full-bodied, fruity, and bold. I tasted mainly red fruit, berries, and boysenberry. It finished long and smooth. This was a very nice wine. I was pleasantly surprised. I bought it with the intention of using it in a beef stew. It turned out very nicely too.
