Old Vine Zinfandel 2019, Concrete Wine Company

From Belizean winemaker, Joseph Smith, this super approachable Zin goes down easy and is loaded with dark berries, a little sweet vanilla, and allspice.

The vines for this Zin are some of the oldest in Lodi! About the Winery JSL Wines is a partnership between Black winemaker, Joseph Smith, and his wife, Lorraine, along with their daughter Sanaya Saignée.  Born and raised in Belize, Joseph came to California for a construction job that happened to be at a winery.

Many of his wines have been highly acclaimed, award winning, 93pt+ wines. Joseph has been featured in both the Wine Spectator and the Wine Enthusiast magazines. Joseph is t
