Abba Vineyard

2009 Lodi Syrah

The 2009 Rosenblum Cellars Abba Vineyard Syrah from Lodi is a truly elegant expression of this varietal. With its deep red color, this medium-bodied wine enchants the palate with a fruit-forward profile featuring notes of ripe blackberries and dark plums, complemented by hints of pepper and subtle earthiness. The acidity is bright, giving the wine a refreshing lift that balances the lush fruit intensity beautifully. Tannins are medium, providing a soft, velvety structure that adds depth without overwhelming. This wine is bone dry, making it an exceptional choice for pairing with grilled meats or hearty pasta dishes.

Region:


Lodi

The jewel of the Central Valley, Lodi lies just east of the California Delta in an area of varied terroir. Winemakers here can extract different grape variety expressions from each plot of land. Zinfandel is common here, making deeply fruity and tantalizingly smoky wines, often from old vines. But the deep loamy soils and balmy Mediterranean climate, with its warm days and cool nights, help keep Lodi's grape varieties and winemaking styles impressively diverse. Alongside the ubiquitous Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Viognier also thrive. Lodi is a melting pot of different grape varieties and winemaking techniques, all of which make it a rewarding region to explore.
