Zynthia

2011 Lodi Zinfandel

Davis Dean Cellars Zynthia is a captivating red Zinfandel from the renowned Lodi region, showcasing the true essence of its varietal. This 2011 vintage presents a harmonious balance that is both inviting and complex. With a medium body, it unfolds layers of ripe blackberries and cherries, accentuated by hints of spice and pepper, creating an engaging fruit-forward character. The acidity is bright, offering a refreshing lift that complements the luscious fruit, while the tannins are soft and approachable, lending a pleasant structure to the wine. This dry Zinfandel is not only easy to enjoy on its own but is also outstanding when paired with a variety of dishes, making it a wonderful addition to any gathering.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
