This clearly says Lodi on the label not Sonoma ---- Consistent, translucent, reflective, medium plus ruby red. Medium plus aromatics prominently feature well integrated vanilla, baked blueberry, dried fruit, buttery pie crust. Surprisingly elegant mouthfeel considering the high alcohol 14.5% which throws only a sight warming sensation in the throat and very little glycerol. Well balanced medium plus ripe tannin, juicy medium acid and medium body. Fruit explodes on the palate and immediately penetrates the nasal cavity. Aromas on the nose are duplicated on the palate with the addition of baked plum and coffee on the long finish. A very good zin for $15. Highly recommend for New world cab Sauvignon lovers.
