A rich smoky Lodi Zin. Juicy blackberry, strong smokiness, white pepper, and a touch of chalk. Full bodied but not particularly tannic. Could have used a touch more acidity, but all in all well balanced. Nice long finish. My wife's favorite red in months!

This feels like a medium body wine with nice fruit notes immediately upon tasting but is slightly flat. The tannins are not very strong but the wine expands at the end. Nice wine in general
