Decent enough, but pales in comparison to Kirschmann Vineyard zins from other producers, which are admittedly pretty tough competition.

black and red fruits, mainly blackberries, cola gummy, prunes, acid balanced with the tannins, however, slightly hot finish #zinfandel #lodi

Lively spice and acid, and to my taste very earthy. Comes from a Turley vineyard in Lodi planted in 1915. Drank over about 8 hours with lunch (eggs) and dinner (burgers).

Has a burgundian feel to go with its Zin fruit. Delicious.

Takes a little time to open and balance out, good fruit and fullness, nice oak on the finish
