Very ripe, with jammy blackberry and blueberry + black pepper and clear oak influence (vanilla, coconut). Less heavy than I thought in the mouth, medium acidity, warm alcohol. Soft tannins. Ripe red fruit aftertaste with some vanilla and mocha coming by. Good length.
Well, if you are buying a Lodi Zinfandel you should expect this kind of wine, so I think it is nice.

I love this style of Zin. Jammy Raspberry and black cherry fruit layered with some bacon and smoked meat. Tannins are in check, makes this great drinking by itself or with smoked Ribs or Tri Tip!

Dark ruby; bit of piney musk in the nose; medium tannins, more mellow than I expected. A good solid Zin for the money.

Big fruit upfront, high alcohol content. Needs a year or two to mellow out.

Medium bodied, slightly sweetish taste, quite drinkable as a table wine. Taste remained stable and pleasant after third tasting over a week or so.
Wife also liked the wine. Suggested ordering more bottles for the cellar.
