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!

I just love Zin and am amazed at how much I enjoy this one. Texture is like velvet on the tongue. Such soft tannins. Wonderful nose and just the right balance. Great with meals or without! One of my faves

Zin-Full
Hadn't had a Zin in a while and after opening this, I can't figure out why. It is everything a Zin should be. Gorgeous rich color, aromatic and delicious. Full body and flavor and cannot believe the price. Very glad to discover I had ordered extra based on others' reviews!
