They said “Campy branding aside, this is a solid example of one side of the versatility of Lodi old vines. Its mix of brambly fruit and toasty oak spice makes for – and I never use this word – a “smooth” wine with the edges rounded, but without smothering the Zin-y character that fans adore. That’s the reason it’s such a big seller.” 750 ml
