Starry Night 2004 Lodi Zinfandel
Tuesday, May 09, 2006
Our 2004 Lodi Zinfandel is made using traditional winemaking methods and is representative of the fine Zinfandels that have been grown in this appellation for over 100 years. This wine is well structured with fresh flavors of blackberries, cherries and pepper and hints of spice and eucalyptus. Our Lodi Zinfandel can be paired with many dishes, but is especially good with pasta, steak, lamb and burgers.

OK, the label sucks, its pretty cheezy but the wine rocks. I just finished a bottle of this stuff for the price it blows away most other zins. You can pick it up for $16 a bottle, a few dollars more than Bogle and Rancho Zabacho but I think you will appreciate it much more. The vineyard is young, they are only a few seasons in but well worth it. The wine was full of juice, spice and body, it wasn't too hot and finished quite nicely. I am not sure what other stores other than Simply Wine carry this zin but look around if you are not in the metro Detroit area.
