Wine Details
Fairly dark for a Zinfandel, Lot 636 offers up a ripe, spicy, peppery nose of raspberry and boysenberry with plum, dark chocolate and raisin. Plush, juicy, full-bodied and accessible on the palate with mixed berry, vanilla and spice enveloped in velvety tannins and long finish.

Cam Confidential
Sourced from a fourth-generation family producing terrific Zinfandel from 30-50 year-old head-trained Zinfandel vines, Lot 636 is an archetypal expression of California Zin. Aged 16 months in French and American oak barrels, it's a pitch-perfect example of the varietal in its purest form – rich fruit, pepper, and spice are all there in a beautifully aromatic and sumptuously structured wine that delivers big on complexity but also nails the fun factor. $20 under its original winery label.

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.

Sadly Out of Stock
The first few sips seemed a little bitter, but then it blossomed. The bitterness was gone. The second glass was very good. It just needed a little breathing time. With this one out of stock, I placed an order for 683, Sierra Foothills Zinfandel, which is now low in stock.

I'm in love
I've tasted wine at 10 times the price I didn't appreciate as much. A boldish zin with wonderful finish. Not harsh. A chunk of cheese, some hard bread, dark chocolate , and 636. Impossible to ask for more.

Wife likes 'bold' reds and this fits the bill. Excellent value & very drinkable. Hearty comes to mind for a description.

Good Lodi Zin
Nice fruity zin from lodi with young fruit flavors, on the light side for a zin, but very enjoyable.
