The Michael David Winery Freakshow Zinfandel is an exquisite Californian wine, embodying true daredevil spirit. A strikingly smooth and robust blend with pronounced flavours of ripe blackberries, toasted spices, and black pepper intertwine harmoniously. Notes of forest fruits assent to a lingering, velvety finish, showcasing the splendid oak ageing process. Hints of dark cocoa and sweet vanilla further embellish the rich palate. A red wine chock-full of character, it showcases the full-bodied intensity of Zinfandel in a confident, flamboyant style. This Freakshow edition is a riveting theatre performance in a bottle, a testament to Michael David Winery’s audacious winemaking.

Tasting Notes

This explosive star of the show is a spectacle for the senses! The wild and adventurous human cannonball shows off the fiery side of Lodi Zinfandel, with notes of blackberry, plum jam and brioche on the nose. Medium bodied with forward flavours of cherry, blueberry and cocoa nibs, this 2021 Old Vine Zin is carried through by a lasting jam finish.
