  April 3, 2020 - Same experience as previous bottle. At least I got some enjoyment from this bottle. The fruit is not that rich, and it tastes really oaked. The color is a translucent dark garnet similar to a Santa Barbara pinot noir.

  December 14, 2019 - Nice fragrance of cherries and plum. Good legs and dark ruby color. Moderate mouth feel. Dark fruit and fig on the palate. Tart short finish.

  November 20, 2019 - Retail $17.76. Lodi is known for its big, bold, and boisterous Zinfandels. Sure, there are exceptions, but for the most part, Lodi Zins are full-throttle, in your face, get out of my way expressions of what many consider to be “America’s variety.” This is certainly no exception: rich red and dark berry fruit with ample vanilla, anise, and a touch of smoke, this wine announces its authority immediately. At 15%, this is certainly not shy but stops short of overbearing. Drink this in the short term with friends who like to argue, shout, and even tango.

  August 1, 2019 - A nose of dark fruit and spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied red, with black cherry, raspberry, vanilla and spices on finish. Better than your average Zin. www.winelx.com
