  One of the best old vine Zinfandel that I have had. Ripe fruit and bold taste with a very long finish. Extremely dark color but with excellent clarity.

  Decanted for 1 hour.
  Ripe, full bodied, lots of alcohol (15,4%), but balanced, tasty, juicy with round and refined tannins. Easy drinking and delicious. Really good!

  Big and fruity but a bit to flabby for my liking. Could have been a below avg bottle as I remember a far better wine at the tasting.

  If you are a fan of the Lodi Zins you will not be disappointed. Several of the comments below of the blackberry, leather, earthy taste are there. Great finish after about 45 minutes decant. The nose is dark and peppery. I love several of the Michael David, Klinker Brick, and others from that area, and this is at par. Don't pass this up if you come across.

  This wine has everything that the experts hate on Zins. That is why we normal human beings love it. It is a great wine and value for the money.
