Think there isn’t serious wine in Lodi? I know for a fact that there is, and this particular wine will show you so with its high-toned cassis and spice aromatics, structured palate, well folded pepper notes and dusty earth tones. It has quite an extended finish even though it’s just beginning to come together. I would age this long term or decant a full day before serving with your finest beef dishes.
