A passionate, full-on Californian Zinfandel from Lodi. Aged in American and French oak for 18 months, it showcases a pronounced bouquet of red and dark berry fruits and sweet coconut. Great purity and concentration on the palate, featuring wood-spiced blackberry and figs, hinted with more coconut, clove and Christmas spices. The rich, sweet dark fruits are supported by soft wood tannins but do not lack freshness (5.6g/l acidity). A heartwarmingly sweet yet well-balanced festive wine. Produced by E&J Gallo.
