Whipstitch
Lodi, California
Taste the new vintage of our Platinum-medal winning Zinfandel
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Whipstitch
Zinfandel
The new vintage of our 94 point Whipstitch Zinfandel is bursting with juicy dark fruit flavor and complex earthiness. Over the years, Lodi, California, has gained an outstanding reputation for Zinfandel. The climate here is notably cooler than the rest of the Central Valley, thanks to a large gap in California's Coast Range. This allows cooling breezes from the Pacific Ocean to travel inland and weave their way through the region's vineyards. These winds help preserve the grape's natural acidity and extend the ripening season, resulting in layers of rich fruit flavor. Our 2021 vintage is versatile and welcoming. The perfect wine for social events and is guaranteed to please a crowd. Enjoy it alongside smoky barbecue or tangy Asian-inspired dishes.

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.

Forest Floor
According to our winemakers, our Zinfandel offers all the fresh scents of a forest stroll after rainfall. Ripe wild strawberry and earth aromas greet the nose, inviting you to take a sip. The palate has balanced acidity and tannins with notes of mulberry, plum and bittersweet baker's chocolate.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Whipstitch
Two colossal mountain ranges traverse the state of California, creating dynamic ecosystems and drastically different terroirs. The Sierra Nevadas to the east and Coastal Ranges to the west form the whipstichery of peaks that outline the edges of California's inland wine regions. Here, our Whipstitch winemakers craft dynamic wines by weaving together fruit from diverse microclimates to fit each region's precise style. Like the picturesque peaks of California, our wines will forever evoke a sense of splendor as they withstand the test of time.
