Old Vine Lodi Zinfandel

Great with spicy chili

It's dry, fruity with a hint of smokey

"Hot" like a Brick oven.

Perfectly balanced

Last wine of the night and as that usually goes...I forgot what I thought about it :/

Affordable big Zin... $13 full bodied, fruit cassis, chocolate,spices

A very nice Zinfandel from old vines - good mix of dries fruits (cherry, fig, plums) with noticeable fine grained/velvety tannins. It would be quite nice at Christmas meals or with a chocolately dessert.

Cara and Chris brought it on Risotto night

Herbal nose (sage and white pepper), with anise/liquorice notes. Big heat, plump aciditity on the mouth. Very dry, and shows more liquorice and tobacco notes. Hints of cassis and prunes. Inky/oily texture that coats the mouth. Pairs nicely with a dish that combats the texture. EX: sage and mushroom orzo in tomorrow sauce with peccorino cheese.

Jammy with dark cherry on the palate and high alcohol well balanced. Great for the price.
