Winery review:  Dark ruby in color with flecks of orange, our 2009 Zinfandel might be the best yet.  The old vine Zinfandel vineyards ripened evenly in the Lodi heat of 20098.  This allowed the old vine character to explode in this blend with aromas of jammy raspberry, hints of orange rind, clove, and rich caramel oak.  In the mouth, this Zinfandel has flavors of dried strawberry, dark raspberry, plum sauce, cedar, and pomegranate, with hints of white pepper and cherry liquor.  The finish is sweet fruit, toasty oak, and lingering warm spices.

My review:  Creamy, spicy, hot nose.  VERY dry taste.  Earthy elements were dominant on my palate and not much fruit was detected.


I tasted this on its own without food.
