Variety: Zinfandel
Region: Lodi, California
Country: USA
Year: 2012
Price: $15 (on sale for $7.95)

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.

My Review: The color of this wine was more of a blood red that wasn't transparent, showing us that this wine had a higher complexity. The aroma seemed to be a strange new mix of leather, ginger and cranberry. The cranberry smell led me to believe that there would be a fruity flavor but the fruit was minimal in the flavor, but still present. I cannot specifically state what other flavors were in the wine because the wine was so smooth. It just flowed and so the fruity flavor was general. The heat of this wine was at the end, but because of the smoothness of the wine, the heat was minimal and very tolerable.
