Zin Boldly

Welcome fellow wine-loving Lutheran!

We are pleased to once again make Zin Boldly available, but only until the end of April 2022.

Luther’s Sage Advice

Back in 1521, Martin Luther wrote in a letter to Phillip Melanchthon, “Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly, for He is victorious over sin, death and the world.”

We celebrate the spirit of Luther’s advice with this Zin from the special River Song Vineyard planted more than thirty years ago overlooking the Mokelumne River, flowing through the heart of Lodi, famed for the cultivation of Zinfandel. Spread the Word with this fine wine.

Tasting Notes

Balance. That’s how Dennis Deg grew the River Song Vineyard grapes that supply 90% of this blend. That’s how the fruit, acid and tannins can be described.

Unexpected. You can see your fingers through the ruby red, but the wine is full-bodied. 15% alcohol is on the label, but you don’t taste it. You’ll need quite a few sips if you want to figure this dry wine out. Black cherries, plum, briary blackberry jelly, red vines? Kalamata olives in the finest balsamic? Maybe leather or clay? Melted dark chocolate with coffee, perhaps? There’s almost a new wave of flavor re-emerging as a sort of delayed second finish.

Food? How about just firing-up the grill and put a good sear on a New York steak, using the wine as your sauce. You don’t need anything else.
