Micheal and David Phillips own this vineyard/winery. They also make Don's Lodi Red, blogged by Shawn in January 2006. The Lodi Vineyard website describes the Windmill labels as wines which express true varietal character with an emphasis on fruit at affordable prices.
Their description of Old Vine Zinfandel: Produced from the vineyards of four of our area's top growers, this zin is heady with the aromas of ripe, soft, brambly blackberries, Bing cherries and vanilla, leading to a full-mouth feel with rich chewy tannins and hints of dark chocolate.
It was affordable - purchased at The Pig's Tria Market. It was $10.99 but was not really impressed with this bottle. I don't recall any of the flavors descibed by the vinters. Tria was pouring this during their Friday night wine tasting - initial taste was okay (only Zin being poured other wines were Chilean) so I thought we would try it. After having one bottle there was nothing special about it. For the money there are better more memorable wines in the same price range. It was really a lackluster wine. Probably should have just used it for making some pasta sauce.
