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.

Great value; excellent Zin
I have tried the Dry Creek Valley and Alexander Valley Zins; loved them and expected this one from Lodi to be a step down. I was surprised at the quality of the Lodi Zin, especially at its price point. It is very smooth right out of the bottle with luscious fruit notes that come forward as it opens up in your glass. Being a medium weight red it pairs with a wide variety of foods and can be enjoyed on its own merits. Great surprise; great value!

We opened this to celebrate and we were delighted! Berries and slight hint of Tobacco. Warming and pleasant afternoon sipping wine! Didn’t disappoint!

Great Zin for the price!
My wife and I love Zinfandel and this wine does not disappoint. Pairs well with almost anything. I've ordered some more to keep the good taste flowing!

One of my favorites!!
I reviewed another Zinfandel, 630. These two have become my favorites from getting them in the wind club membership. I normally go to Pinot and Cab so these two have been awesome surprises! The price is so affordable and the flavors are so smooth going down.

Nice Zin, though to be fair we had it the same night as Lot 630 which was a too standard to match. Good everyday value.

Zinfandel delight
I find suppliers of Zindafel wines at this price point to be widely varying in quality, but Lot 636 from CH stands at the head of the line - lovely aromas of chocolate and fruit greet your first sniff, and continue with your first through your last tasting. Another find addition to the CH portfolio.

Great value
Really great zin for the price! Notes of black pepper and cherry on the nose, with tastes of chocolate, cola, and black cherry. A chewy wine with a nice long finish. Highly recommend!!

Good but there is better....
A good Zin with plenty of fruit but for a little more I would highly recommend moving up to Lot 630 | 2015 Dry Creek Valley - Zinfandel. A much better wine. Just my opinion.
