This is a family favorite. The fruit came from an old vineyard in the Lodi AVA in California, where the average age of the vines is 90 years. We fermented the grapes in three different ways: hot fermentation (28-29C), cold fermentation (19-20C), and Carbonic Maceration (similar to Beaujolais wines), and blended the wines at the end. The wine was aged for 18 months in new American oak barrels hence oaky notes. The name “BeauZini” came from the Beaujolais method and Zinfandel, the grape variety.

Here are the tasting notes:
Intense and attractively oaky. Delicious ripe dark plush plum and damson concentrated fruit muddled with a lovely touch of characterful spice. Well-integrated spicy oak and lovely fine-grained tannins with a pure, balanced long finish. It is intense with a smooth taste, and a long finish.
