About the wine
Sultry, robust old-vine Zinfandel from your Lodi specialist
- This luscious, mouth-filling Zinfandel is juicier than a fresh pick of brambly blackberries, with layers of dark fruits balanced over a backdrop of toasty oak, all woven into a long, lingering finish.
- Thanks to your funding, Evangelos could source high-quality Zinfandel from an 85-year-old vineyard thriving in Lodi’s rich, sandy loam soils and producing tiny grapes loaded with complex, concentrated flavors that burst through with each sip.
- Your support helped Evangelos elevate the unique richness of this classic Lodi Zin with a special regimen of fermenting in concrete tanks and a full 18 months of aging in American oak barrels. Now it’s all yours to savor!
Best before
Because of the unique method of winemaking that was utilized, this wine can age anywhere between 5 to 10 years if stored correctly.
Serving advice
This wine is made to drink as soon as it's opened and does not require decanting.
Food match
