Aromas of baked raspberry pie and figged black cherry jam. You gotta sit down for this one. Intense jammy full-flavored seduction to the senses! Love.

This is a very distinctive, powerful and deep Zinfandel from Lodi, California. Vertically Sourced and produced by Oak Ridge from its own ancient +100-year-old vines. It packs tons of dark cherry and berries and is very chocolaty, since this is a reserve version, the lingering oak and texture is very long but not overwhelming.

More fruit forward than my favorite Zinfandels. Lacks a dry/oak/tobacco finish.

Deep ruby hue. Aromas and flavors of oak, plum, raspberry jam, and strawberry. Medium body, with medium tannins and medium acidity. A fresh and inviting nose, a velvety palate, and a medium-length finish. Very flavorful and approachable.
