Toadilly Luscious Wine

2009 Lodi Touriga

Toasted Toad Cellars Toadilly Luscious Wine, a captivating red Touriga from the Lodi region, showcases an enchanting depth and vibrancy. This full-bodied wine offers a remarkable balance of high acidity that invigorates the palate, contributing to its overall freshness and liveliness. The fruit intensity is prominent, presenting a medley of luscious dark fruits like blackberry and plum, complemented by subtle notes of spice and earthiness. Tannins are notably structured, providing a robust framework without overwhelming the wine's elegant character. Best of all, this vintage is decidedly dry, making it an ideal companion for rich dishes or a delightful indulgence on its own.

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.
