Disappointing. Fruit forward quickly over powered by tannic smoky oak tones that finish into toast and hinder a pleasant finish.

A bit younger than I prefer, but it’s a Lodi so I took a chance. Fruity, jammy, some spice and light tannins. The finish was spice, smoky ANS a little chocolate but not long. Very drinkable. An inexpensive delight from TJ’s at only $5.99 earns a 9.2 in my book only because of the value. I’m going back for a case and let this youngun age a few years.
