Crimson Earth
Lodi, California
A vivid, old vine Zinfandel from experts of the grape
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Crimson Earth
Zinfandel
Varietal: Zinfandel
Alcohol By Volume: 14%
Region: Lodi, California
MSRP: $30.00
We're in love with this Zinfandel and after one sip you'll be hooked too. Part of what makes this wine so special is that the grapes were picked from 75-year old vines.

With the classic Mediterranean climate of warm days and cool nights, the picturesque vineyards of Lodi, east of the San Francisco Bay, is one of the best regions in California for growing grapes. Its idyllic climate p ...

WINE 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.
