MICHAEL DAVID LODI ZIN OLD VINE 750 ml

Discover the Michael David Lodi Zin Old Vine Zinfandel, a 2021 red wine hailing from California's Lodi region. Produced by the Phillips family's Michael David Winery, this bottle carries forward a tradition rooted in the 1850s. For nearly a century, the family has nurtured grapes here, focusing on sustainable practices that highlight top-tier winemaking. Their dedication earned them the title of 2020 American Winery of the Year from Wine Enthusiast Magazine.

Old vines, some exceeding 100 years, shape this full-bodied Zinfandel with its firm tannins and vibrant acidity. Pour a glass to reveal a deep ruby-red color that promises depth. Scents of blackberry tart mingle with dark chocolate and graham cracker, drawing you in for the first sip. Expect tastes of boysenberry and plum woven with spice, leading to an oak-driven close that lingers.

Earning 90 points from Wine Enthusiast, this 15% ABV wine in a 750 ml bottle suits those seeking a robust companion to meals. Match it against grilled meats fresh off the fire, smoky barbecue spreads, hearty stews bubbling with flavor, or wedges of aged cheese. Its intensity stands tall solo too, turning quiet evenings into moments worth savoring.

From Lodi's sun-drenched vineyards, this Zinfandel captures the essence of family heritage and land's generosity. Whether stocking your cellar or grabbing for tonight's dinner, it delivers reliable pleasure in every pour. United States craftsmanship shines through, making it a smart pick at this price.
