Gilded Letter 2017 Zinfandel Lodi, California

Description

Gilding is a process for applying gold, and in doing so the artist adds more value to an object. The winemaker of Gilded Letter has done the same for this Zinfandel. Full-bodied with firm tannins, the wine is voluptuous and formidable at the same time. Our experts love the richness of the red fruit and chocolate notes, but the real complexity comes with the subtle hints of cracked black pepper and spice. This Lodi wine shines with food, the structure holding up to the hardiest flavors. We think that it will pair perfectly with glazed meats, barbecue, or a steak. It’s gold all around! It took home Double Gold and a “Best of Lodi” awards at the 2018 Harvest Challenge, as well as Gold medals at the 2018 Denver International Wine Competition and at the 2018 Global Wine Awards. And Wine Enthusiast Magazine, one of the premier wine publications on the planet, recently sent it home with 87 points.
