Oak Ridge Zinfandel

Oak Ridge Zinfandel Lodi AVName: Oak Ridge Zinfandel Lodi AV
Variety: Zinfandel
Region: Lodi, California
Country: United States
Year: 2012
Price: $11.98

Winemaker Review: A robust wine packed with fat, ripe fruit--cherries, cassis, blackberries--yet enough acidity to give it lift. Smoky, cola flavors that do not overpower. Finished with ripe tannins. A terrific wine from an underrated region. Pairing with BBQ Beef & Stir Fry.

My Review: This was a pretty strong red, with what I would consider a strong tannic structure. It left the mouth pretty dry, but had a lot of flavor to it. I noticed hints of darker fruits that packed a punch. It was a solid red wine that would go well with cooked meats.

Food: No
