Lodi Zin can be overly sweet and alcoholic but this one is balanced and charming. It shows a softly complex array of red and black wild berry, blueberry, mashed cherry pulp and plum flavors, sprinkled with cocoa and cinnamon, like a savory Starbucks drink.

A decently made old-vine Lodi Zinfandel that’s smooth and soft, with enough clove, cinnamon and brambly character to stand out and be paired with a range of smoked, grilled and marinated meats and other full-flavored food.

Rustic and sharp in unevenly ripened tannins, with some green, minty flavors right beside sweet, jammy ones of raspberries and cola. Zin’s spices are there, bigtime.

The latest from Don Sebastiani & Sons continues the tradition of their other brands, offering up a ripe, fruity, spicy Zin that finishes nice and dry. A good price for such authentic Dry Creek Zin character.

What an easy-drinking Zin, and it has real complexity, too. The flavors are of rich, chocolaty cherry, raspberry and blackberry flavors, with Zinny spices, while firm tannins and good acidity provide a rich structural balance. This is a lip-smackingly good Zinfandel.

Nice, rugged mountain Zin, with the briary, brambly tannins and peppery taste of wild berries freshly picked off the vine. Alcohol adds heat and structure, and time in the barrel has softened the tannins. This might just be the perfect backyard barbecue red wine.

Pure Lodi, very soft, very ripe and slightly sweet. With syrupy flavors of raspberries, cherries, plumped raisins, milk chocolate and licorice, it’s balanced with grainy tannins.

This is a dry, hot, rustic Zinfandel, with a burn of alcohol. But it’s rich in cherry and berry, currant, licorice, smoked meat and pepper spice flavors. Has lots of popular appeal.
