Bright ruby purple. Present nose of boysenberry cobbler. Echoed on the medium full, Fruity McFruitface palate. Medium acidity. Medium minus tannins are barely there, but somehow I don’t mind with this style. Probably because of the fruit bomby-ness of it all: who wants crippling tannins with that? But seriously, nurse… Enjoy this with burgers, pizza, or as I am, with chili over pasta.

I’m a big fan of Lodi Zin. Trying to figure out why this is not my thing. Drank it over 3 days. The astringency lessened and mellowed over time. Enjoying it more now as it opened up.

Fruit forward, mildly acidic. Black cherry, black currant, tobacco for taste.

Decent Zin, but didn’t go well with dark chocolate. We had it with think pork chops

Solid value for a peppery and fruity Zin at $13. Might become a new regular.
