Natalie's Score: 91/100

Produced by Michael David Winery, Earthquake 2018 is a robust and juicy Zin created from some of the oldest Zinfandel vines in Lodi. Dry, rich and a mouthful of raspberry, strawberry leather, blackberry, cinnamon, mocha, smoked meat and toasty oak flavours long on the palate. The name of the wine comes from the fact that the grapes are sourced from vines planted around the time of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Pour with smoky ribs from the grill.

Zinfandel food pairings: aged cheddar, grilled lamb loin, grilled duck breast, Italian sausage burgers.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
