LangeTwins Estate Lodi Zinfandel 2018
About the wine
Robust old vine Zinfandel from a legendary Lodi dream-team
- This refined old vine Zinfandel hums with dreamy dark fruit flavors like rich, ripe blackberry and plum, woven with an elegant, long-lasting finish and a touch of toasty oak from generous barrel aging.
- Brothers Randy and Bradford Lange are grapegrowers at heart, and know first-hand that great wines begin in the vineyard. So to bring you the classic robust character of Lodi, the brothers selected top-notch grapes from some of their favorite sustainably tended old vines growing right in their own estate vineyards.
- By supporting Randy and Bradford, you’re not only getting special access to exquisite wines from two legends of Lodi and Clarksburg wine country – you’re helping a generational farming family carry on a wine growing legacy decades in the making. We’ll cheers to that!
Best before
Though this wine will age gracefully for another 18-24 months, it will also be delicious if you open it right away.
Serving advice
Let the complex flavors of this robust Zinfandel open up and air out for a few minutes before going in for that first sip.
Food match
As a family of foodies, we can't keep to just an entree recommendation! For cheese pairings try Roquefort, Gorgonzola or Stilton. For charcuterie, try Speck, Coppa and Pastrami. For an entree, try a pulled pork sandwich with Carolina BBQ sauce and apple fennel slaw (message us for the recipe from Chef Nick Kubitz).
