Candor Zinfandel Lot 7 NV
Lodi, Central Valley, California, United StatesFrom gnarly, 60+-year-old vines and a 4th generation farming family in Lodi, this deep, dense, sweet and rich zin was fermented in stainless before going into used French and American barrels for 18 months. Hedonistic, and most certainly beyond its 14.5 declared alcohol, and there is 11% merlot tipped in. However, all you can taste in the browning glass is sweet red fruit, on a plumped palate, with minimal tannins and maximum jamminess, to a browning spiced finish—such a shame to treat these old vines in this way.Tasted: 01 November 2020Tasted by: Prices:BC | $24.99 | 750ml | estimated retail in select private wine shops |
