Big Smooth Old Vine Zinfandel 2021

• Region: California
• Sub-Region: Lodi

Vineyard Sourced from old vines in Lodi, where warm inland conditions and sandy loam soils help produce richly flavored fruit with plush texture. The old-vine material contributes concentration and depth, while the blend components add structure and spice.

Wine A bold and generous red with notes of blackberry jam, plum, mocha, and sweet baking spice. The palate is smooth and full-bodied, with velvety tannins, ripe fruit weight, and a soft, warming finish.
