LUTHER’S SAGE ADVICE

Back in 1521, Martin Luther wrote in a letter to Phillip Melanchthon, “Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly, for he is victorious over sin, death and the world.”

We celebrate the spirit of Luther’s advice with this Zin from a special vineyard planted more than forty years ago overlooking the Mokelumne River, flowing through the heart of Lodi, famed for the cultivation of Zinfandel. Spread the Word with this fine wine.

TASTING NOTES

This is what classic old vine Zin really should taste like: seamless decadent fruit held in balance by super-velvety-smooth, chalky tannins – a big brawny brooding Zin. Black cherries and plums come to mind when trying to imagine the fruit. Then there’s that sort of melted-dark-chocolate-with-coffee experience going on ahead of a long, satisfying finish. Nothing is amped-up or over-the-top, nor unnaturally sweet or non-descript.

Time to pay the corkage fee and shell out for a juicy thick New York steak with seared-on grill marks and realize that you’re getting a world-class experience for a fraction of the cost of those high-rent appellations. (15.1% alcohol by volume. 07/31/2016) (Download Tasting Notes)

Do you all have a Lutheran connection? Asks the Lutheran pastor.

Posted April 11, 2016 at 4:10 PM

Thanks for asking, Diane! Yes, our winemaker’s family is Lutheran, and most of the rest of us here are Christians of one sort or another. Blessings to you!

Is there any way to ship or find this in Kansas?

Posted October 20, 2017 at 11:50 AM

Hi Kevin,
Unfortunately, we do not have a license to ship to Kansas, and we don’t have any distribution into stores within Kansas. So, I’m afraid I’m being of no help at all. Sorry!
But thank you very much for asking, because now we know we’ve got someone interested in Kansas.
Cheers!
Jon

My Granite Bay, CA brother brought me some of this special wine and I saved some of this for the 500th celebration of the Reformation TODAY! Hope you bottle some more soon!

Posted October 31, 2017 at 8:28 PM

Cheers to 500 years in honor of the courage of Luther!

Posted October 31, 2017 at 8:30 PM

Thanks for asking, Jan! We are still figuring out bottling dates for next year. Look for some info mid-year.

Are you still bottling Sin Boldly?

Posted June 6, 2018 at 2:29 PM

Thanks for asking, Kevin! We have been moving our winery to a new location and shifting production to our sub-venture winery, Markus Wine Co. (http://MarkusWine.com). Once we’re all settled, we’ll reach out to our contacts at the church and see if they’d like to continue for another vintage. We’ve really liked being able to host this project! Would you like me to add you to our email list, Kevin? Blessings to you! – Jon
