    Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Zinfandel - A Fine Wine For $5.99

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: November 5, 2011 Last Updated: March 5, 2021

    2009_Woodbridge_by_Robert_Mondavi_Zinfandel

    76% Zinfandel, 10% Petite Sirah, 3.5% Alicante Bouschet, 3.5% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot and 5% other complementary varieties from Lodi, California.

    Sample submitted for review. SRP of $7.99 but available widely for as low as $5.99.

    From the bottle:

    "Our Zinfandel's deep berry character is infused with delicious, peppery notes -- a unique Zin personality trait. We love this wine with marinated flank steak and grilled vegetables. Believing that wine should be an integral part of life, Robert Mondavi founded Woodbridge Winery in 1979 to make fine wines for every occasion. He returned to his childhood roots in Lodi, California to craft wines using his signature techniques that combine rich tradition with state-of-the-art innovation.

    13.5% Alcohol"

    The 2009 Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Zinfandel begins with aromas of sweet blackberry and raspberry plus a little spice and pepper. This smooth, medium-bodied wine exhibits similar flavors as the nose when tasting: sweet berries plus minor notes of spice and vanilla. The wine has a small amount of spicy tannins on the medium-short finish. Overall not very complex and not much depth but still good and easy to drink.
