ZINFANDEL 2018

Lodi’s most popular wines are Zinfandels, which are reds known for their smooth finish and notes of fully ripened fruit and spices. This variety has put Lodi on the map as the Zinfandel capital of the world. Old vine Zinfandels exhibit the complex nature of the Lodi region’s terroir. This Zinfandel was blended with 14% of vintage 2017 to enhance the sweet raisin aromas and flavors. Enjoy our fruit and ripe Zinfandel with cheeses or barbecue.
