Gen 5 Zinfandel Old Vine 2016 skus_30196867 Smooth tanninsGEN5 strives for a Lodi Zin with lush and juicy black and blue berries and a note of spice and licorice, with a lush mouthfeel. A peppery, dried herb aroma and rich chocolate and blackberry flavors make a nice combination in this medium to full bodied wine. It feels supple, tastes concentrated and has a lingering, jammy finish.
