Cherie Cole rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A classic California Zin from Lodi. An abundance of plum, berries, chocolate, coffee, black pepper. Full-bodied with some smokey notes on the finish. Tasted March 2016.

Mary Anne van Gaal rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

There is one word to describe this wine, yummy! This bold zinfandel made from grapes grown on old vines, has a rich fruity palate of plums and dark berries with hints of spice and oak. Although it is extra dry, it has a smooth long finish with many layers. I have paired it with grilled steak and also with pasta with a tomato sauce with spicy sausage with great success!

Darlene Myers rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Brazin' is the name and deliciously sassy wine is the game. This wine is quickly becoming my go-to summer wine for all things BBQ. Gorgeous plum, mocha and spice flavors will enhance any food experience or enjoy sitting on your patio. There are also vanilla toasted notes and a hint of chocolate. Perfect for those barbecue ribs or your favorite pizza.

Natalie's Review

Brazin (B)Old Vine Delicato Family Vineyards Zinfandel 2011, Lodi, California, United States: Pure Californian Zinfandel in all its succulent, robust glory! The nose is redolent of raspberry jam and mocha from generous oaking. Full-bodied, juicy and smooth. Terrific for grilled meats and spare ribs. Drink: 2013-2016. 256750 15% D 750 mL $19.95 Score: 91/100. July 19, 2014 Top Rated Red Wine. Heavenly Hamburger Wine Full Review
