| Earthquake Zin comes from an old Lodi vineyard planted around the same time as San Francisco's great earthquake of 1906. It's 100% Zinfandel aged 14 months in American oak and made in a big, bold style overflowing with berry fruit and spice. Pair with rib-eye steaks with sage and a dollop of blue cheese, or shake things up and pour it alongside beef saltimbocca with shaved truffles and Asiago. |
