About the wine
Bright and juicy Reserve Zinfandel with a barrel-aged polish
- Next time you’re craving a powerful, fruit-driven red drenched in blackberry, blueberry and plum, with superb balance and an elegant finish – this Reserve Zinfandel is the wine you want!
- With your funding, Evangelos blended Lodi Zinfandel with hand-picked grapes from dry-farmed older vines in the tiny Oakley region, and aged your wine in French oak for a special Reserve touch and oh-so-velvety texture.
- Decadent Reserve Zinfandel can easily go for over $20 a bottle, but Angel funding means Evangelos can work with the special vineyards he loves – and bring their famous wines back to you for an everyday price!
Best before
This Zinfandel tastes great now but will definitely develop for the next 3 - 5 years. This will only be getting more delicious over time.
Serving advice
Decant this red 30 minutes before drinking - around 60-65ºF is the perfect temperature.
Food match
For a unique pairing, try this Zin alongside grilled eggplant generously topped with parmesan and fresh oregano. It's also great with roast lamb, rib-eye steak and chocolate.
