Wine Details
Pouring a beautiful translucent ruby color, Lot 730 opens with an archetypal fruit-forward Lodi nose, supplemented by hints of cedar and leather. On the palate the wine is immediately quaffable, with very balanced acidity framed by soft, velvety tannins. The finish shifts towards a drier note, with spice present throughout but never overwhelming – instead, you get a long (and I mean looooong) series of waves alternating with plum, raspberries, soft leather, and earth.

Lot 730 is a step up in refinement from your average Lodi Zin. Sourced from an esteemed producer home to numerous parcels of Lodi’s famous old vines, this is a wine that punches way above its weight class, showcasing a 70/30 split of fruit and terroir that deftly maintains the bold edge you’d expect from a Lodi red. Aged for just under a year in French oak before bottling, this is really good juice – alluring, nuanced, and an outstanding value at about half the original winery price!

Good Zin
Really enjoyed this Zin. It was not too fruit forward but had a pleasant taste. Beautiful color and a good pour. We will enjoy the rest of the bottles this summer.

Very nice ZIN at a great price
This is not a big fruity zin. It is drinking very nicely now and improves after opening. Very impressive food wine at a great value

a young zin
The deep saturated garnet color invites you in. The nose is subtle dark cherry and crushed raspberry with autumn leaves. This is not very fruit forward but blackberry and blueberry with a bit of spice with tannins that linger a long time on the palate.

Another good zin value
We enjoyed this zin, but we prefer lot 683. Zins generally are our favorite value varietal from CH, and this one is no exception. This is not a fruit bomb, but rather is more on the earthy side in my opinion.

Legs for days
This was very fruit forward, great nose, great legs! Not quite as complex as the 725, but very delicious all around. Both excellent.

A nice Zin.
My wife poured me a glass and I wasn't really in the mood for a bold strong Zin (which I love). Nose is intriguing with subtly complexity and the flavor is similar.
I immediately looked up the price and was pleasantly surprised.
