Astonishlingly bad wine. Unless you like liquid smoke "beef jerky juice", save your money. I have never been so provoked to write a bad review. Honestly, this producer can't be serious if this cleared their quality control review. This might be a bum bottle, but it doesn't exhibit the qualities of a poorly handled wine, just the qualities of a poorly made wine.

This is the second bottle of this wine that I have opened. Same impression. When first opened it is very closed, little flavor, no fruit. But then wait two hours after opening and it turns into a wonderful Zin. Excellent with spicy food.

Light nose, heavy fruit. More like a Merlot than a Zin. Lacks the complexity of a Lodi. Wouldn't buy it again.

Hickory smoked bar-b-que. Hearty black peppercorn with rich, dark fruit. Excellent QPR, would certainly buy again.

Lighter bodied than expected for a Lodi Zin. Smoke and tobacco on the nose and palate, with some dark fruit and spiciness as well. Fairly complex for an under-$20 Zinfandel.

Light garnet with aromas of sweet candy, playdough, cherryfruit and a twig of earth. Medium nectar and very soft. Emphasizing berryfruit with gum, and a pich of earth on the long sweet finish.
