My favorite Zin from CH Wine
I'm a Zin fan and this has been my favorite. Looking forward to more from Lodi to compare with some of slightly more expenisve Sonoma Zins I hold.

Too Much Alcohol
I'm disappointed as I have always found the CH zins wonderful. This very high alcohol zin was harsh on my mouth & throat. My wife couldn't drink it as it burned her throat too much. If high alcohol (maybe it was also acidic?) doesn't bother you you will find it a flavorful wine.

Good Value but 730 Better
Just had the 636 Zin yesterday for the first time (2016 vintage). For the price its hard to argue against it. However, the 2018 Lot 730 Zin was much much better in my view. I'm going for more 730 while it's available.

Go-to Zin
We've enjoyed several bottles of this everyday, go-to Zin. Last night with Leek Risotto - delicious!

Good
Very fruity Zin, bold red.
Daniel
Delightful
Fruity, full-bodied and smooth. Flavors of strawberry and cherry. I thoroughly enjoyed this bottle. Paired perfectly with a steak. Outstanding value.

Good Zin - Needs air time
First impression was that this wine was young. But given the Vintage, that was not the case. It also seemed light on first opening, but after some air time, it opened up nicely and gained some substance. If you still have this on your rack, I’d give it at least an hour of decanting - will be a good investment in time and you’ll enjoy this wine.

Another lighter zin
Great valued zinfandel on the lighter side with a rich finish.
