About This Wine
Whipstitch
Zinfandel
Nearly twice the size of Napa Valley, Lodi is located right in the middle of California’s vast Central Valley. Vineyards planted in the region are subject to an incredibly dry growing season and extreme temperatures. Zinfandel thrives in an environment of the sort as it requires much less attention than finessed and delicate varietals. This 94 point, Platinum Medal-winning wine is big and powerful but has a beautiful structure. Fruit was picked on the later side to allow tannins to fully ripen. Bright red fruit flavors meld with intense baking spice notes. Full-bodied with a clean and elegant finish, this is a perfect pair for fatty meat dishes off the grill.

"This brand is a crowd-pleaser of a Zinfandel, with flashy fruit, fall spice, and just a touch of sweetness to temper its rustic character. It’s a solid grill-side partner at a price that pleases." - Rich Cook, 2020 Sommelier Challenge
