LODI ZINFANDEL

Lodi, the self-proclaimed "Zinfandel Capital of the World", is home to some of the finest Zinfandels in California. The distinctive characteristics of the region are reflected in our Lodi Zinfandel. Bold in color, the 2021 Lodi Zinfandel has an elegant mouthfeel with intense red fruit flavors underlined by notes of raspberry and subtle spice. French oak aging lends to soft, mouth-coating tannins with hints of vanilla on an elegant finish.

FOOD PAIRING

This full-bodied round Zinfandel makes an excellent food pairing choice for anything hot off the grill, such as grilled tri-tip steak.

Lodi Vineyard Sourcing

Located east of the San Francisco Bay, at the edge of the Sacramento River Delta, Lodi is home to some of the oldest Zinfandel vineyards in the state. A dry growing season featuring warm days and cool evening breezes offer ideal growing conditions that lead to full-flavored wines. Vineyards are planted in either fine sandy loam soils at lower elevations, or clay-based and stony soils at higher elevations. These well-draining soils produce well-structured wines with intense fruit flavors and rich silky texture.
