Wyethia Flame
Lodi, California
Our Cabernet is bursting with juicy dark fruit flavor
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Wyethia Flame
Cabernet Sauvignon
The unique terroir of Lodi, California, shapes the flavors and textures of our 2018 Cabernet. With a friendly and rich palate of ripe black fruit and balanced oak, this wine is a marvelous example of this region's Mediterranean climate. Summers here are warm and dry. Spring storms and early fall frosts are uncommon, which means the growing season is long. These are perfect conditions for late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet vines are typically some of the last to wake up from winter dormancy, and their grapes ripen long into autumn. Each taste of our Wyethia Flame is a delicious glimpse into the vineyards of this region. This New World styling of Cabernet pairs well with a vast array of flavorful dishes. Intensify its fruitiness even more by serving it alongside salty pesto or zesty tomato sauce. Or take a sip in between bites of dark chocolate for a decadent and pleasantly text ...

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.

TASTING NOTES:
Plum
Oak
Black Cherry
Our Cabernet Sauvignon is approachable and fruit forward. An aromatic bouquet of black cherry and oak creates a welcoming entry into the plush palate. Ripe, dark plum flavors are enveloped in the wine’s full body, gentle acidity, and structured tannins to create a plump and pleasing mouthfeel.

ABOUT THE BRAND:
Wyethia Flame
Wyethia Flame is rooted in the history and terroir of Lodi, California. The Wyethia flower shares this region's picturesque landscape with its state flower, the poppy, blooming in the sunny vales and floodplains between gently rolling hills. The "flame" refers to the traditional cultivation of Flame Tokay grapes introduced to the region in the 1900s, which for years supported Lodi's agricultural industry and were a common sight in nearly all its vineyards. Nowadays, this forgotten grape only exists in far-away corners of the region, replaced by European varieties better suited for winemaking. Our wines epitomize Lodi's terroir by respecting the rich history of native flora and cultivated crops, which helped shape the flourishing wine region it is known as today.
