90 point Wyethia Flame presents rugged ripe fruit and spice
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Wyethia Flame
Malbec Blend
With fresh herbal aromatics and mulled fruit flavors, our Wyethia Flame Malbec Blend makes the ideal fireside wine. This complex blend is dark fruited and rustic, differentiating it from many of the other Malbec-driven wines you may have tried. This flavor profile is a timeless example of Californian terroir. The historic soils of Lodi ensure peak ripeness levels in the vineyard at harvest. Throughout the day, large stones on the soil’s surface gather heat from the sun. When cool nighttime temperatures blanket the vineyard, these rocks continue to radiate heat onto the fruit from below, extending the ripening period into the night. This results in perfectly plump, ripe fruit and, in turn, a wine with rich flavor and delectable sweetness. Our Malbec Blend is the ideal wine to grab for evening gatherings surrounded by good friends and hearty stews. Scroll through the image carousel a ...

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:
Eucalyptus
Licorice
Plum
Our Malbec Blend is bold yet balanced with rich fruit flavors. Aromas of eucalyptus refresh the nose before concentrated flavors of plum, midwestern spice, rhubarb pie, and black licorice unveil a rich palate. Subtle tannins and delectable sweetness complement soft acidity for a plush and lingering finish.

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.
