Not showing very well and smelling like sweet soda. Spring for Klinker Brick’s 2008 Old Ghost instead, a much more stellar version of Lodi old-vine Zin, double the price but worth every additional dollar.

This is not really a dry wine, but it is a very nice one because the acids and tannins make it balanced. The flavors are of mashed ripe cherries and raspberries, sprinkled with cinnamon and powdered cocoa.

Aromas and flavors of fennel, black cherries, raspberries and chocolate mark this soft, easy Zin. Nice with a juicy cheeseburger slathered with ketchup.

From a producer to watch in underrated Lodi, this intense, black cherry, bacon-fat and white peppery Syrah has an almost peat-like, whisky aroma at first, very inviting, which then leads into more bacon and pepper that carries through on the palate, balanced by extremely smooth tannins and an unexpected elegance. A really cool Syrah to try on its own that’ll go very nicely with meaty, wintery foods.

There are delicious flavors in this ripe Syrah, and while it’s too soft for comfort, it sure is nice to drink. Offers waves of blackberries, mocha, black pepper and smoky sandalwood that finish thoroughly dry and complex in Asian spices.

A full-bodied wine, with dark, plush plum, black cherry, tobacco, vanilla, chocolate, spice and anise flavors. Tannins are big, ripe and supple, while the finish is moderate in length. A fine effort from old vines and a relatively new winery.
