Evangelos Bagias Concrete Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel 2017
About the wine
Robust, limited-edition old-vine Zinfandel from a leading Lodi expert
- This refined Zinfandel is a luscious, mouth-filling red steeped in layers of ripe, dark berry flavors, with a backbone of toasty barrel-aged spices and a luxuriously long-lasting finish.
- Evangelos selected high-quality Zinfandel for this wine from an 85-year-old vineyard thriving in Lodi’s rich, sandy loam soils and producing tiny grapes loaded with complex, concentrated flavors that burst through with each sip.
- To top it off, Evangelos elevated the unique rich character of this classic Lodi Zinfandel with a special regimen of fermenting in concrete tanks and a full 18 months of aging in American oak barrels. Now it’s all yours to savor!
Best before
Because of the unique method of winemaking that I used, this wine can age anywhere between 5 to 10 years if stored correctly.
Serving advice
This wine is made to drink as soon as it's opened and does not require any decanting.
Food match
Concrete Old Vine Zinfandel is an excellent partner to spicy BBQ, zesty pasta and pizza, or juicy burgers.
Contains sulphites
