PrototypeLodi Zinfandel 2022

Taste Profile

Tasting Note

On the nose, this Zinfandel exudes bold aromas of ripe blackberries and plums, complemented by enticing layers of sweet spice, vanilla, and a hint of smoky oak, which add complexity and depth. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and mouth-filling, offering a lush texture and flavours of dark cherry, blackberry jam, and black pepper. These primary fruit flavours are beautifully integrated with notes of cinnamon and clove, resulting from careful aging in oak barrels. The tannins are well-structured yet smooth, leading to a warm, lingering finish that echoes with hints of tobacco and cocoa. This 2022 Zinfandel is a hearty and satisfying wine, perfect for pairing with bold dishes such as barbecued ribs, grilled meats, or spicy pasta dishes.
