Shop/wine critic/winery review: "Our 2012 Lodi Zinfandel 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: A very interesting wine quite different from the last red, but this is my first zinfandel so I don't have much to compare it to. This particular wine had a nose that brought back memories of summertime: a clean pool, light grass, and an image of children running around in a backyard. A very clean aroma. With the first taste it hit heavy, but eased up and felt very light very fast. The taste was an interesting mix of cherry and charcoal smoke. I'm not sure if I would buy this and like it on its own, but picturing drinking this while having barbecue to eat with actually makes this wine sound absolutely perfect.
This wine was tasted at Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, Virginia without food.
