Regio Old Vine Old Clone Zinfandel 2013, Lodi

Aromas of blueberry pie, cola, cherry and black liquorice enhanced by oak aging. It is rich, juicy and alluring on the palate with flavours of ripe red summer berries, cranberry, and hints of cinnamon and pepper. The long and delicious aftertaste is worthy of the history and work that has gone into those old vines all these many years. One sip and you’ll know why wine named REGIO, the Italian word for royal.
