I can’t remember how I got ahold of this one. Drinking a 2018 on a cold Tuesday in 2025 with some burgers. Fruit has faded from the nose, but it’s still plenty sweet and jammy on the palate. Big red fruit. Acidity is still pretty zippy, plenty of tannin. Black pepper and leather notes. Rather extracted and not particularly well integrated. Well paired with a smash burger.

Remarkable zin. BIG, bold, simple and in-your-face direct. Jammy. Little smokey. Outstanding value.

Not a big zinfandel person. Don’t mind a blend . Straight ZIN doesn’t interest me anymore at all.

This tends to be among the best of the slightly sweet Lodi Zins. It is restrained in its jamminess and, while big, not full of port-level ABV. The flavors are blackberry and raspberry but the acidity is more balanced than most. I would recommend pairing with a spicy or peppery steak dinner, not so much as a cocktail wine.

Hot garbage nose. Cloying, over extracted, hot and sweet. This is Lodi zin at its worst. Gross and certainly not worth $15+

One of the most enjoyable Zins I've had in a long time. Tremendous cherry bomb with rich after tones and a bright, full finish.
