Norm's Tasting Notes

2014 The Federalist Zinfandel
#nb-06-17
This Zinfandel from Lodi, California has all of the qualities which I like in a Zinfandel. Pair a good Zin up with a nice thick, juicy, steak and you have a terrific all-American meal.
The Federalist Lodi Zinfandel has a pleasant aroma of dark berries hinting of good things to come. The flavors swirl in the glass with an abundance of blackberry and black cherry, set against a backdrop of pepper and spice. The finish is excellent with a bit of tannin and lingering fruit at the end. The alcohol content is a respectable 14.5%, and Norm's score is 88.
The Federalist Zin was great with our steak, and of course would be excellent with a big platter of spaghetti.
price : $12- $16
score: 88
