RUBUS Old Vive Zinfandel, Lodi 2012

Produced in the heart of Lodi AVA.

From the http://www.kysela.com/usa/rubus.htm website: 98% Zinfandel + 2% Cabernet Sauvignon
Bottled after aging in French and American oak for 9 months.
Ruby red in color, with red fruit, raspberry, and spice on the nose. This wine is medium in body, with notes of ripe cherry, cedar box, cinnamon, anise, black pepper, and hint of smoke on the palate. It has a long, silky finish. 

This was a very fruity rich wine, quite smooth and excellent with the pork roast we enjoyed it with.
