I don't normally like Zinfandel but this one has changed my mind! It has delicious notes of plum and blackberry. The finish is very nice and smooth. Of course I was attracted to the purple velvet label!! I will definitely buy this again!

WOW! Does this wine live up to its name! Bought it from Ralph's just because I liked the label, but it is both Big, like a Zin should be, and smooth, like a really quality Cab. Yum!

I used to think of Lodi Zin as a guilty pleasure. I'm not guilty at all. This is a delightful bottle of wine.

Another proud/biased review. This is a silky smooth and ripe north coast zin. Jammy blackberry but enough structure and acid to make for a great wine for hearty grilled dishes. Even cheeses. Love it. Very happy with this!
