2014 Stellina Zinfandel Old Vine - USA, California, Central Valley, Lodi (9/17/2020)
Part of my expansion into the old school Lodi Zin’s. On pour, I can immediately tell it’s pretty heavily bricking. And sure enough, it’s got those raisin notes, no fresh fruit and comes across almost like an Amarone but without the sweet end. A surprising acidity finishes it off - I didn’t see that coming. Wine is made by the Colarossi family who also are behind the Lodi Native brand, which is a very nice modern take on Lodi Zin. This wine is slightly past it’s prime, and if you have any, drink them now, but was still enjoyable. (88 pts.)
