Mettler Family 2014 Epicenter ‘Old Vine’ Zinfandel (SRP $25): This Zinfandel is intense, well-rounded, has a big personality—turning it up to eleven (if you know what I mean). Aromas of toasted spice, sweet oak tones, and smoked meat frame blackberry preserve, purple stone fruit, and brown baking spices. The tannins beg for red meat grilled over hot coals. I personally wish I had an order of burnt-ends as I wrap up this note. If you enjoy big oak and big fruit—all in fine balance by the way—then you will love this wine. #Lodi #LodiWine #LodiOldVineZin #wine #winelover #Zinfandel #ZinDay #NationalZinfandelDay #myvinespot

I may have to pick up some baby back ribs after work tomorrow (11/15). Not only is it #WineWednesday, but it’s also National Zinfandel Day. And I have this duo (@DArtWines and @MettlerFamilyVineyards) from Lodi, California. Grab a bottle and get social with Zin, by sharing your favorite producer(s), wines, pairings, etc. on social media. Use hashtag #ZinDay. Cheers! #Lodi #LodiWine #LodiOldVineZin #wine #winelover #Zinfandel

What I'm decanting for #ZinDay to sip during #sipwatchtweet tonight

Happy National Zinfandel Day! Happy National Zinfandel Day! Enjoying some 2014 "Mischeivous" Lodi Zin from Macchia Wines. The wine has a lovely smoky-cigar nose with notes of blueberry and blackberry on the palate.
