Predator vs. Zinfandel

Producer: Predator
Type: Red
Region: California (Lodi)
Variety: Zinfandel
Vintage: 2009
Price: $14

I admire this wine maker for their use of the eco-friendly "natural predation" method to avoid the use of pesticides. One thing a dictator must know well is how to conquer his enemies as efficiently as possible. I've never used ladybugs myself but there's a first for everything! This "old vine" Zin is extremely very flavorful--Fruity, spicy and smooth.
