March 5, 2013 - This is an incredibly smooth zin, medium in body, with lush fruit notes and just the right amount of smokiness. This wine is designed to pair well with your food, adding just the right amount of subtle notes to your palate. Let it breathe for 30 minutes before you serve.
Tasting notes: Blackberries, currants, leather, and a touch of vanilla on the front; medium smokey with fresh cracker pepper on the back -

March 2, 2013 - Wanted to write a follow up review on this wine as we shared a bottle with friends after returning home from barrel tasting in Sonoma this weekend. I am beyond impressed with this wine, especially after having tasted some fairly high-end zins both in the barrel and the bottle over the past few days. I don't know if it's the quality of the fruit in Lodi or what, but the balance, structure, and mouth feel just work. It's jammy without being too fruit forward, and has a nice depth and mineral finish without being too flinty. For what you pay this wine seems like a no-brainer.

February 6, 2013 - Admittedly my score is high, but that's because it was an incredible value at $5.99 a bottle on sale at Cost Plus. Everything you'd want in an Old Vine Zin, jammy fruit, smoke, and spice with nicely balanced tannins and a medium body. I've had more expensive zins from Lodi that I didn't like as much as this. Would definitely recommend, especially at the $7.99 price point Cost Plus still sells it at.
