Cosentino 'The Zin' Zinfandel Lodi, CA ‘22

A vibrant garnet in the glass, this Zinfandel bursts with aromas of ripe blackberry, clove, and a touch of cracked pepper. The palate is juicy and expansive, offering flavors of boysenberry, cinnamon, and a hint of licorice, balanced by bright acidity and smooth tannins. Sourced from old vines and aged in American oak, it showcases Zinfandel’s bold character while retaining finesse. Scoring 91 points, it’s a natural partner for barbecue ribs, spicy sausage, or aged Gouda. The finish is lively and fruit-forward, echoing Lodi’s warm climate and the winemaker’s commitment to expressive varietal purity.
