2011 Lodi Zinfandel

Black Saint Peter Old Vine Zinfandel from the 2011 vintage is a captivating red wine that truly embodies the essence of Lodi's winegrowing heritage. This full-bodied gem showcases a rich tapestry of dark fruit flavors, including luscious blackberry and ripe plum, intertwined with notes of spice and pepper that are characteristic of well-aged Zinfandel. Its acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing counterbalance to the wine’s fruit-forward nature, while the tannins are firm yet approachable, offering structure without overwhelming the palate. With just the right touch of dryness, this wine invites you to savor each sip, making it an excellent companion for hearty meals or simply enjoyed on its own.

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.
