Kallan Vintners Anza Diem Lodi Zinfandel 2020 is a bold and richly textured wine that exemplifies the intensity of Lodi’s old-vine Zinfandel. On the nose, it reveals lush aromas of black raspberry, ripe plum, and dark cherry, layered with hints of black pepper, licorice, and a touch of vanilla. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with concentrated flavors of juicy blackberry, black currant, and a subtle smoky edge, balanced by notes of spice and mocha. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, giving the wine a plush mouthfeel, while a bright acidity keeps it fresh and lively. The finish is long and warm, with lingering flavors of dark fruit and a hint of sweet spice. This Zinfandel is an ideal pairing for barbecued meats, hearty stews, or grilled vegetables, capturing the character and warmth of Lodi’s terroir in every sip.
