Evangelos Bagias Concrete Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel 2018
About the wine
Rich and jammy old-vine Zinfandel from a Lodi legend
- This decadent Zinfandel is steeped in ripe dark berry flavors, with a backbone of toasty barrel-aged spices and a luxurious, long-lasting finish.
- Evangelos selected high-quality Zinfandel for this wine 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.
- To top it off, Evangelos elevated the unique rich character of this classic Lodi Zinfandel 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
This wine will age well for around 3 to 6 years.
Serving advice
I would let this wine breathe for about 30 minutes after opening.
Food match
This Zin will go great with everything from barbecue ribs and beef burgers to pastas with meat sauce.
Contains sulphites
