ESTATEcrush, Lodi (California) Cinsaut 2019

 This expression of Lodi’s oldest continuously farmed vineyard show ripe pomegranate, blueberry and well folded oak toast in both aroma and flavor profiles, with a ripeness level that keeps everything lively from start to finish.  A touch of brown spice comes forward after the liquid is gone, keeping the impression of the wine alive and intriguing.  Serve this when you would normally reach for Pinot Noir, but want a more zesty, fruit driven style.
