A brand from the Delicato Family Vineyards (they have about 17 brands in their portfolio). Old vines (40 - 100 years old) on sandy soils in the Lodi AVA, in the inland valleys East of San Francisco. Ruby red colour, not very deep for an old vine Zin. Lots of dark fruit (blackberry) in the nose, intertwined with coffee and cocoa. Bold, dark fruity taste with hints of chocolate and a peppery bitter-sweet finish. Neither elegant nor complex, but a good example of a middle-class Zinfandel.At 20.80 euro it is expensive though, especially if compared to Italian Primitivo.

Surprisingly rich, spicy with dried plum. Full-bodied, ample and thick mouth with a pinch of sweetness.

Very much a wine for eating with some rich meat, but really nice deep plum and vanilla spice hits.
