About This Wine


Crimson Earth

Red Blend

The unique soils of Lodi, California, have shaped our Crimson Earth Red Blend. This ripe and jammy wine features Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah, showcasing deep dark fruit flavor, structured tannins, and hints of oaky character from aging. Lodi's warm and sunny climate nurtures grapes to plump perfection while cool nights hang onto freshness and aromas. Its fertile soils are exceptional at holding warmth, thanks to stones and gravel sprinkled throughout. Deep sandy soils store water in some areas, allowing vines constant access to hydration and heat. The result? A wine brimming with luscious flavors, mellow acidity and velvety tannins. This flavorful red is an excellent selection for casual dinners with close friends or lounging at home. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

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.
