Earthquake

2009 Lodi Zinfandel

The Michael David Winery Earthquake Zinfandel from the 2009 vintage is an exceptional red wine that exudes the charm and character of the Lodi region. With its full-bodied profile, this wine boasts an opulent and expressive character. The acidity is well-balanced, providing a refreshing lift that complements its rich flavors. The fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring luscious notes of ripe blackberry, juicy cherry, and hints of inviting spice. Tannins are strong yet approachable, lending a firm structure that enhances the overall experience. Despite its richness, this Zinfandel is decidedly dry, making it a versatile choice for food pairings, especially with hearty dishes or barbecue. Uncork this delightful wine for a captivating taste of Lodi's winemaking excellence.

Region:


Central Valley
Central Valley

Away from the dramatically cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean, Central Valley is California's breadbasket, where much of the country's fruit, vegetables, nuts and grapes are grown. Bathed in sunshine and growing in fertile soils, Central Valley spreads 400 miles from Sacramento to Fresno. Because of its heat, the region produces abundant Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon, which soak up the sun and transform it into dense, deeply colored wine. In the region's cooler AVAs—those that lie around the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, such as Lodi—higher acid grapes like Chenin Blanc, Colombard, Barbera and Chardonnay grow with great success.
