A medium-bodied Zinfandel, with juice and concentrate from Lodi, that shows complex dark fruit and spice notes. Attractive tannins and added depth are contributed by fermentation with the virgin, crushed grapes and untoasted American oak. An attractive wine that is a sound choice for social situations and with most red meats and pasta dishes. Widely chosen as the house favorite for barbecues. Inviting after a few weeks, but does show more depth and balance after about 6 months, and will continue to develop for a couple of years. Serve at cellar temperature.
