Experience the vibrant character of Michael David Winery Freakshow Zinfandel, a wine that invites you to enjoy it now or cellar it for up to nine years. There’s no need to decant this delightful red before serving, making it an accessible choice for any occasion.
Founded in 1984 by brothers Michael and David, the winery has deep roots in Lodi, where the Phillips family has cultivated fruits and vegetables since the 1860s. Their commitment to sustainability is evident through the “Lodi Rules,” which guide their practices, from water conservation to human resources. In 2020, the winery was recognized as Wine Enthusiast’s American Winery of the Year, a testament to their dedication to quality and innovation.
The Freakshow Zinfandel is adorned with a striking label featuring a fire breather, symbolizing the boldness of this sun-kissed California red. This young wine is aged for 12 months in a blend of American and French oak barrels, enhancing its complexity and smoothness while showcasing the naturally luscious dark fruit flavors.
On the nose, you’ll find an enticing array of berry aromas, including cassis, blackberry, and cherry, complemented by subtle hints of toast, cedar, anise, and woodsmoke. The palate reveals a bold and powerful wine with a full body, firm tannins, and a soft, smooth texture, culminating in a lengthy finish that carries a delightful spice.
Pair this exquisite Zinfandel with tomato-based pasta dishes, pizzas, or a charcuterie board to fully appreciate its delicate balance of fiery intensity and rich fruit.
Please drink responsibly.
