Winery Review: Our 2012 Lodi Zinfdandel exhibits hints of cherry on the front of your palate and vanilla on the finish that will have you begging for more. Like most zinfandels it pairs well with good friends and barbecue. -Purple Paws Winery

My Review:

-Color: Soft but dark burgundy

-Smell: aged leather, tobacco, black currant, clove, pomegranate

-Taste: strong clove up front, aged oak, minimal mid palate, smooth but lingering finish.

-My favorite of the bunch. It had more to decipher than the other wines. The clove was strong worked well with the overall aged smell and taste of the wine.
