Z4

Lodi Zinfandel

Herzog Z4, a distinguished Zinfandel from the renowned Lodi winegrowing region, beckons with its rich, inviting character. This full-bodied red wine captivates the palate with a delightful medley of ripe, dark fruit flavors, including blackcurrant and plum, interwoven with hints of spice and a touch of vanilla. Its high acidity adds a mouthwatering vibrancy that perfectly balances the intensity of the fruit, while the firm tannins provide a well-structured and satisfying finish. Ideal for pairing with hearty barbecues or a cozy evening by the fire, Herzog Z4 is a testament to Lodi's exceptional terroir and the artistry of California winemaking.

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.
