Black Saint Peter Zinfandel 2023
Flavor Profile
They say the older the vine, the richer the wine. Here’s delicious proof—a California Zinfandel with dozens of glowing customer reviews and a vintages-long history of 90+ points and gold medals from top international wine competitions.
Black Saint Peter hails from California’s premium Lodi district, the self-proclaimed ‘Zinfandel Capital of the World.’ Many of the region’s distinctive wines come from gnarled, low-yielding vines, some of which date as far back as the 1880s.
Zinfandel first appeared on the East Coast in the 1820s, making its way to California during the Gold Rush. The original vines were referred to as ‘Black Saint Peters,’ and they are still considered California’s home-grown contribution to the wine world.
You’re in for an exceptionally ripe treat with this release. Not only was it made using prime fruit from 50-plus-year-old vines (making for deep and complex flavors in the glass), but 2023 is the latest in a string of incredible California harvests
Look forward to concentrated dark cherry and boysenberry flavors, with hints of spice and chocolate on the finish. We recommended pairing Black Saint Peter with spicy pastas (think Fra Diavolo) or a hearty beef stew.
This is serious value for a top-notch, old-vine Lodi Zinfandel. Grab your case today.
