18196 N Davis Road, Lodi, CA 95242 Phone: (209) 368-2006 Hours: Thurs - Sun 12 - 4:30pm One ofhte oldest wineries in Lodi area, extremely friendly staff. First ime, I've ever had someone come out to great me as I park and walk in. On entry, the owner David Lucas greeted us and informed us that there were a series of carnival games outside involving used corks, that were very amusing. Lucas has a lot of history and experience in Zinfandels. Unlike many of their neighbours, they have stayed focused on a couple of varietals rather than growing and bottling every varietal you can think of. A very enjoyable visit and well worth it if you can make it on one of their special open days. |

| | 2003 "Citizin" Zinfandel ($35) | Rating: B-C
Jun 21st, 2008 | | Zinfandel from 55 year old vines, good body with nice fruit and tnanin balance and a limited amount of pepper. Very nice, probably the best of hte day. | | 2000 "Zinstar" Zinfandel ($30) | Rating: B
Sep 10th, 2007 | | Balanced and drinkable, but nothing to write home about. | | 2003 "Zinstar" Zinfandel ($35) | Rating: B
Jun 21st, 2008 | | 75 year old vines that produce a more tannic wine, that also comes with a lot of pepper. This will probably improve with time, if fruit can stand up to the tannins. | | 2004 Late Harvest Strwa Wine ($65) | Rating: B
Jun 21st, 2008 | | Sweet, but very drinkable - especially with the chocolate that they serve with this wine. | | 2006 Zinblossoms ($20) | Rating: B
Jun 21st, 2008 | | Almost a Rose of Zinfandel, best served very chilled. Very light in flavour and pleasing to the tongue, but does not taste that great when not cold enough. | | 2005 Chardonnay ($29) | Rating: A
Jun 21st, 2008 | | Nice and cold on a very hot day, but too oaky for me |
