The Federalist Zinfandel 2023 is a red wine from Lodi, California, a region renowned for its historic Zinfandel production. The grapes are sourced from several older vineyards, benefiting from sandy loam soils which impart distinct characteristics to the fruit. The 2023 vintage exhibits a deep ruby-purple hue. On the palate, it reveals ripe blackberry, plum and black pepper, interwoven with hints of cinnamon and clove. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, allowing for a round finish that reflects the fruit-forward profile typical of California Zinfandel.
