I didn’t have high expectations for this value #lodi #zinfandel. Blackberry jam aromas dominate. In the mouth there’s the expected rich briar fruit flood but it’s quickly followed by nice acid structure, dark chocolate and coffee notes mid-palate, faint warming spices and tongue-coating tannins on the long finish. It is unexpectedly quaffable and a dandy value at $11 from #wsjwineclub — a month ago

Funky cinnamon-plums, baked apples, carrot cake and blackberries. Wild strawberries, sloe berries, sweet, black pepper, blueberry muffin and pencil tip scents. Lean and meaty black currant, sour cherry and blackberry with grape leaves, black plum reduction and fig. Satisfying and multi-textured! #zinfandel #CarolShelton #Mendocino #Healdsburg #oldvine — a year ago

Blackberry, plum, pie spice, bramble. Hasn’t developed much complexity, but it’s quite satisfying. Finishes hot. #grgichhills #zinfandel — a year ago

I’m over #zinfandel I’ve really tried many with much hope and yet I’ve almost never been happily surprised. This is a lovely expression and yet it doesn’t do it for me. I prefer #garnacha from Spain. — 5 months ago

A #zinfandel that’s much better balanced and elegant than previous examples from #lodi that I’ve tasted. No egregious fruit bomb here or excessive oak and smoke. @Tom Pilla is exactly right, dialed back fruitiness, some earthy zip and a touch of acid. — a year ago

Hello cloves and white pepper! Still a very approachable wine regardless of intense spice elements. Red licorice and cinnamon presents on the palette. Age for 5-7 years. #napazinfandel #napavalley2015 #zinfandel — a year ago

Pretty amazing to taste a 2013 #zinfandel in 2019 and find it still alive and kicking and #wellbalanced There’s something to be said here about wines. With a sense of place and defending “native” varietals. — 7 months ago

Vintage 2015 / 74% zinfandel 16% petit shiraz 8% carignan 2% matador = mourvedre. Dark colour with cardinalred rim. A beneficent and seductive smell. Lots of cedar, marzipan, chocolate, spicyness too. Velvety in the mouth but with much power beneath. #ridge #zinfandel #sonomacounty Paired with beef tenderloin salsify and mushrooms. — a year ago
