Who wishes they were me tonight..St Amant Old Vine Zin 2012

Just when I thought nothing could surprise me....St Amant Old Vine Zin. 
Just the color alone.
St Amant is grown in the Lodi Appellation and is one of the first certified sustainable vineyards in Lodi. 
This beautiful deep purple ruby color qualifies as a real treausure. 
The nose sends off aromas of a ripe orchard in Spring.  I could open this bottle everyday just to enjoy the boquet.
Once the wine hits your mouth  the flavors burst  out  sending sensation tingles to every end of your body.  Deep rich cherry and blackberry.  A real fruit bomb, jammy and rich. Ever so soft and slight tannins that linger and leave you begging.  
To night we had rib eye and potatoes. What an experience. Full and rich and then you add a perfectly cooked med rare ribeye it is like taking a stairway to heaven. 
Enjoy.
