2015 endless summer Zinfandel - Orange Coast Winery 

Juicy boysenberry, freshly ground black pepper, stemmy bramble. Strawberry compote, ripe black cherry, and a heaping handful of blueberries. Balanced and showing restraint, with good acidity and a pinch of subtle tannin. A Zin made properly can do this crazy thing where a whole spectrum of fruit is revealed in a single glass. This 2015 'The Endless Summer' Monfort Vineyard Lodi Zinfandel by Orange Coast Winery is one of those Zins that reminds you how fun and interesting this varietal can be.

If you have not yet gotten on the Lodi Zinfandel train it is time to jump on board! Rated wine region of the year by Wine Enthusiast in 2015, Lodi California is home to a burgeoning wine scene and some really spectacular old Zinfandel vines. This wine, produced by Orange Coast Winery in Newport Beach, showcases beautifully what warm days, cool nights, and the long growing season in Lodi can achieve. Finding a great wine like this in a small urban tasting room in Southern California will brighten any day!
