Macchia, Lodi (California) Old Vine Zinfandel 2018

May 19, 2020

By Wayne Belding

 Good Zinfandel offers a mouthful of pure, jammy fruit and spice.  The Lodi area of San Joaquin County contains a number of old, head-trained Zinfandel vineyards.  If you love the luscious and full-textured style of old vine Zinfandel, try the Macchia Mohr-Fry Vineyard “Generous” Zin.  Drawn from 90-year-old vines in Lodi, this powerful red has lovely aromas of black and red cherries and blackberries plus hints of herbs, baking spices, and vanilla.  It layers on the rich and full red and black fruit flavors and adds an appealingly rich and creamy texture to the wine. The Macchia “Generous” Zinfandel will be a fine match for roasted or grilled meats or your favorite rib recipe.
